Teens handled live rocket flare while fishing
 |
| WARNING: Colin Tabor with a dangerous flare. |
HAMPSHIRE coastguards have issued a stark safety warning after teenagers risked their lives handling a rocket flare.
Three youths were fishing at Hurst Castle on the shores of The Solent near Milford on Sea when they discovered the innocuous-looking device washed up on the beach.
Unaware that the tube-shaped rocket had the potential to fire at 200mph, they picked it up for a closer look.
Devastating'
But a passer-by spotted the danger and alerted coastguards who immediately dispatched a vehicle from Lymington.
Deputy station officer Colin Tabor said: "Our crew got there quickly. It could have been nasty and they did not know what they were going to encounter when they arrived.
"If it had been fired incorrectly it could have had devastating consequences.
"The youths were just fishing and were totally oblivious to what it was and what it could do."
When coastguards arrived at the scene, they used a public address system to instruct the youngsters to put down the nine-inch rocket. It was then placed in a secure metal container.
Mr Tabor said the powerful flares, used by seafarers to alert coastguards in an emergency, produced a huge plume of coloured smoke.
He added: "Flares do get washed up here from time to time. It would not have taken much at all to set this one off.
"To all people visiting our beaches, the message is clear - do not touch and do not pick them up. Leave them there, dial 999 and ask to speak to the coastguard. They are potentially lethal weapons."

Don't forget that 16 year olds can fight for their Country and cook at a restaurant. Those same "adults" can't buy a knife.

They are potentially lethal weapons.......
I agree, the youth today will not remember the devastation it caused me when I was filled with them in 1605.
Now people celebrate november the 5th by blowing me up!
Most of you will not remember me, well nobody will unless you are 4003yrs old!
I will be back though, mark my words.
This act on the beech was me trying to stop these youths fishing.....
I will set of another soon...

Imagine a fire-cracker in the palm of your hand, it goes off you get burnt right?
Now close your hand around that same fire-cracker, boom, your wife's going to be opening your ketchup bottles for the rest of your life!
I have watched this film countless times and as such have never had an accident with a flare. Also thanks to the teachings of this film I'll be the first on the drilling team if and when the government needs the earth saving from an asteroid!

Anyway, more to the point, those teenagers were very silly and let's hope they've leared a valuable lesson.

This Christ dude, is he the one that dresses up as Santa Claus?
Sorry, after being out of the public eye for 405years im trying to take notes of History.
It seems this christ dude actually exsisted. I mean why else do we say for Christ sake and Jesus Christ in sentances when we are angry or suprised?!
Ive never heard anyone use my name in suprise or anger!
Can you imagine :
"I pulled Cheryl Tweedy last night"...
Guy Folks you never did you?
I think the usual christ way is far better, thus remembering him on a daily basis.

Rubbish arithmetic, and spelling, Fawkes. 4003 years? Guy Fawkes pre-dated Christ by 2000 years did he?
Cut the guy some slack Prof, he is communicating with us from beyond the grave
No, Guy Fawkes didn't pre-date Christ but Guy Folks certainly did. He's just not as well known that's all. Come on Prof, Google will have all the answers you need. I suggest yoy check your facts before you insinuate that anyone's an idiot!
How is Christ a fact? Guy Fawkes did exist, there is no proof that Christ did. Don't get me wrong, I am not out to disrespect anyone, it's just that I am agnostic and until I have proof, I will not believe. The teenagers highly risk hurting themselves and others carrying out actions like this (to actually comment about what we should be!)
Good point Anon. Having now Googled Guy Folks it appears he did not exist afterall. As for Christ?, well there's a lot of fuss made over the dude and people built churches so they could sing songs about him on Sunday's so I guess he was the real deal. Anyway, more to the point, those teenagers were very silly and let's hope they've leared a valuable lesson.
Armageddon Lover -
This Christ dude, is he the one that dresses up as Santa Claus?
Sorry, after being out of the public eye for 405years im trying to take notes of History.
It seems this christ dude actually exsisted. I mean why else do we say for Christ sake and Jesus Christ in sentances when we are angry or suprised?!
Ive never heard anyone use my name in suprise or anger!
Can you imagine :
"I pulled Cheryl Tweedy last night"...
Guy Folks you never did you?
I think the usual christ way is far better, thus remembering him on a daily basis.

Guy Fawkes & co simply tried to blow up the politicians above them
Now that's what I call forward visionary thinking.

These kids should have done a proper teenager thing - launch the flare towards the nearest gin swiggers at Cowes.

Note that I'm in no way preaching, or trying to convert anyone, I'm agnostic too. But I refuse to believe there was no person called Jesus Christ.
