Exploding rhubarb levels London woman's apartment

When 66 year-old Margaret Goodwin accepted a gift of fresh rhubarb chutney from a neighbor, she had no idea what she was getting herself into. Goodwin put the chutney in her refrigerator. Five days later, at about 7AM, she was awakened by a tremendous explosion.

Evidently the gases in the fermenting rhubarb chutney had built up so much pressure that when the jar exploded, the design of Goodwin's fridge amplified the blast. It shattered objects in her kitchen, rocked her apartment building, and even lifted the roof of her apartment.

Rhurbarb, people. Just say no.
