Man Was Stripping Floors with Acetone and Lit Cigarette. Resulting Explosion Caused Wall to Collapse and Left Him Injured

He must have missed the Top’s floor buffing safety brief.

A person was using acetone to strip the floors inside a building in Tennessee and lit a cigarette. The explosion caused a wall to collapse and left the man injured, according to reports.

On Wednesday, April 9, after 2 p.m. local time, officials received a report about an explosion inside a building in the 900 block of Main Street in Nashville that caused a wall to collapse, NBC affiliate WSMV, CBS affiliate WTVF and ABC affiliate WKRN reported.

“I looked outside, and there was a big puff of smoke,” Devin Bogdan, who works across the street from the impacted building, told WSMV. “And like dust from the side of the building caved in.”

People inside the building were told to evacuate, according to the outlets. When first responders arrived, they found nothing visible on the exterior of the building, according to the outlets. By that time, the victim was outside, according to WSMV.

“He came outside, seemed pretty chill. He didn’t seem like he was stressed out or anything,” Bogdan told the outlet. “Maybe it was just like adrenaline from what just happened.”

The victim told officials he was using acetone to strip the floor and then lit a cigarette, according to the reports. Team members conducted air tests and confirmed that acetone fumes were present in the building.

The person was transported to a medical center with burns and was in non-critical condition, according to the outlets. No other injuries were reported.

“Crews later found smoke inside the building, and after investigating further, located a sander that was running as the source,” a Nashville Fire Department spokesperson told WSMV. “There were no other fire/smoke conditions present.”

VIDEO — Report: Two Women Fight over Casket of Man They Were Both Dating

A pair of women reportedly decided to duke things out over the coffin of their deceased lover in Mexico, a man they had unknowingly been dating at the same time.

The women apparently learned at the funeral they had both been involved with the deceased man, Daily Express U.S. reported Thursday.

When they realized what had been going on, the pair got into a physical fight as bystanders watched. The reported brawl did not happen outside the building but right over the coffin where the dead man’s body lay, according to a video clip.

“One woman had been positioned beside the coffin, quietly bidding a heartfelt goodbye to the deceased. She was overheard saying, ‘Love, I’m going to miss you.’ However, her emotional farewell immediately aroused the suspicions of another woman present,” the outlet said.

“She jumped up and confronted the weeping stranger, demanding, ‘Who are you?’ When the woman disclosed she had been romantically linked with the deceased, the situation at the funeral in Veracruz, Mexico, escalated,” the report continued.

Video footage showed the wooden coffin on a stand as mourners sat nearby. The women were seen yelling and screaming at each other, and seconds into the clip the fight turned physical. At one point, one of the women grabbed the flowers from on top of the coffin and then the coffin’s lid slid off:

Still images showed the intensity of the reported brawl:

In 2022, Breitbart News reported a New York City lawsuit alleged a funeral home failed to stop relatives from fighting near an open casket during a memorial service.

Widow Ormella Ramos claimed Funeraria Juan-John’s Funeral Home should have been prepared to deal with the incident when her in-laws gathered and the fight broke out.

“Marc Anthony Humberto Ramos was the victim of an accidental drowning in 2019 at Hanging Rock State Park in North Carolina, where the couple made their home,” the outlet said, noting his widow claimed the family had never approved of the marriage and blamed her for the man’s death.

Secret Service trainee accused of spying on roommate with hidden camera

A Secret Service agent in training who previously worked as an analyst with the presidential protection team was arrested this week on charges of felony eavesdropping at the nation’s premiere federal law enforcement training academy.

Police reports from Glynn County, Georgia, said the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center student, Joel Lara Canvasser, secretly filmed his suitemate’s every move with a spy camera hidden in a phone charger. Canvasser allegedly targeted the roommate with a weekslong campaign of harassing text messages written to suggest the roommate was being watched by a stalking stranger who could see into his suite and even the bathroom.

Canvasser was arrested Wednesday and charged with unlawful eavesdropping or surveillance, according to police records. He posted bond of $8,458. Canvasser did not respond to messages seeking comment from ABC News.

Secret Service Deputy Director Matthew Quinn called the charges against Canvasser “deeply troubling.”

“On April 8, disturbing facts involving a Secret Service trainee assigned to a special agent training class at FLETC in Glynco, Georgia, were brought to light,” Quinn said in a statement to ABC News. “An initial investigation by the Secret Service and FLETC led to the individual’s arrest by local authorities. The charges are deeply troubling and raise significant concerns about the individual’s character and fitness to serve. As this matter is now before the courts, we will allow the facts to be presented through the judicial process. We commend the swift actions of Secret Service trainers and FLETC personnel, whose prompt response ensured the matter was quickly brought forward and addressed through appropriate legal channels.”

The agency also confirmed that the incident occurred between Canvasser and his suitemate, also a Secret Service trainee.

Before applying to be a special agent, Canvasser was a civilian employee assigned to the Office of Strategic Information and Intelligence, which monitors and assesses threats to the president and others under Secret Service protection.

Canvasser started with the Secret Service in the fall of 2025, the agency said — but now in addition to the criminal charges he faces, his access to all Secret Service sites and systems has been revoked while his work status and security clearance is suspended.

According to police, Canvasser in March offered his suitemate a phone charger after the roommate’s charger seemed to have disappeared. Canvasser, police said, told the roommate “the cleaning ladies may have taken it.”

Police said the roommate plugged the charger in below the TV, giving the hidden camera a vantage point that had “coverage of the entire room.”

“Roughly a week after [the roommate] plugs in the charger, he begins receiving odd text messages from various numbers. In the beginning he believed they were spam messages, however over time he began to realize whoever was texting him was simultaneously watching him,” the police report said. “At first, he assumed whoever was texting him had compromised his phone,” so he “placed a Band Aid over the camera.”

The roommate sought Canvasser’s help with what he thought was his hacked device, the report said. Canvasser “has a cyber background and is supposedly good with technology which is why [the roommate] had gone to him for help.”

Canvasser told the suitemate he was probably the victim of malware and offered to help reset the phone, according to the report. But afterward, the roommate noticed the refreshed phone had suddenly and automatically connected to Canvasser’s personal WiFi account — something he found “odd,” according to the report.

The roommate’s reprieve from the harassing messages was short-lived, the report said: the texts “made a return” a week later.

“There was a specific instance where [the roommate] was using the bathroom and his phone was in his pocket. When he finished, he checked his phone and saw a message referencing him using the bathroom. It was at this point that [the roommate] realized the individual was not watching him through his phone camera but instead from another device,” according to the report.

Upon examining the borrowed charger, the roommate noticed it had an unusual glint, and “realized it was a camera,” the report said. “When he had pulled it out of the wall, the light hit the device in such a way that made the lens visible.”

Canvasser’s alleged harassing voyeurism did not stop at the surreptitious filming, according to the report: the roommate told police that “during the past month, Mr. Joel has gone into [his] room on multiple occasions while he’s been sleeping at night. For this reason, [the roommate] has been locking his things up in attempts to prevent these events.”

The trainee’s alleged violations of both privacy and the law are another black mark for the agency tasked with protecting top officials, including the president, vice president, their families and foreign dignitaries visiting the U.S.

The Secret Service had faced intense scrutiny since a gunman attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, then a former president running to return to the White House, while he campaigned at a Pennsylvania rally two years ago. That incident, which prompted the ouster of the agency’s director, was called a “historic security failure by the Secret Service” in an independent review by the Department of Homeland Security.

It also comes after a Secret Service agent tasked with protecting former President Barack Obama knowingly breached his duties while trying to woo a love interest and living a double life, according to a memoir from the agent’s ex-girlfriend. That prompted an internal probe once the agency became aware, after which the agent was ultimately fired.

It Turns Out That Democrats Support Requiring ID…But Only For Free Admission Into Obama’s Library

Barack Obama’s horrendous Presidential Center is just about to open, and the ticket prices have finally been advertised. The big headline of the story is that, on Tuesdays, Illinois residents are able to attend for completely free, but only if they can prove that they’re actually a resident.

That’s not all. The venue also held a promotional giveaway for two tickets and airfare for the grand opening. The catch? The promotion is only available for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Sorry illegals, you have to pay full price.

Turns out that illegals only get the love and admiration of liberals when it helps them win elections or siphons away tax dollars. They clearly aren’t welcome to desecrate a building honoring the Left’s messianic figure of Barack Obama.
