BERLIN - A jilted German man had second thoughts over a suicideattempt, however, he nearly died in an explosion in
his apartment only minutes later. The 35-year-old man
decided to end his life after being left by his
girlfriend. He had turned on all the gas taps in the
cellar of the building but changed his mind about
killing himself and turned them off again. Unaware the
block was still full of gas, he lit a cigarette,
causing an explosion that destroyed the building´s
roof and several walls. No one was seriously injured
in the blast, however, the man was still taken into
custody for further questioning.
