Plan Bombs

A 38-year-old woman from Trenton, New Jersey, successfully eradicated the cockroaches in her apartment over the weekend (at least temporarily) as well as more than 20 of her neighbors and renters in two adjacent complexes.

Theresa Walker's troubles began around 9 a.m. on Saturday when she decided six cans of insecticide must be better than one. In a literal "over-kill," Walker was oblivious to the accumulating deadly combination of chemicals and gas from her kitchen stove.

The blast sent Walker to the hospital with severe burns all over her body. Several walls buckled in, all of her windows were blown out, and bricks were blown so high and so far that they landed in the parking lot and surrounding sidewalks.

Her children and their pet snake were not injured.

The cockroaches temporarily evacuated while firefighters put out the flames, but they have since moved back in.
