A Tragic Accident
On December 4, 1996, three people died in a fire in the state of Delaware. Police arrested New Castle resident Mark Kirk (age 35) and charged him with murder. He was found guilty of starting a deadly fire by pouring Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum over an electric burner. Despite repeated requests from Kirk's defense team, the company has never denied that its product is flammable, and it should be used with care. The Network for Innocent Arson Defendants has plans to file a claim with the Food and Drug Administration to have the company properly label its product as "flammable."

Famous quotes containing the words tragic and/or accident:
“America is a great country. It has many shortcomings, many social inequalities, and it’s tragic that the problem of the blacks wasn’t solved fifty or even a hundred years ago, but it’s still a great country, a country full of opportunities, of freedom! Does it seem nothing to you to be able to say what you like, even against the government, the Establishment?”
—Golda Meir (1898–1978)
“As soon as I suspect a fine effect is being achieved by accident I lose interest. I am not interested ... in unskilled labor.... The scientific actor is an even worker. Any one may achieve on some rare occasion an outburst of genuine feeling, a gesture of imperishable beauty, a ringing accent of truth; but your scientific actor knows how he did it. He can repeat it again and again and again. He can be depended on.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)
