Yeah I admit it, I found this on FARK.
Still, it's a pretty good story for someone who's a member of the HSMRC. Cautionary tale and whatnot...

A village of Birofeld in Russias Jewish autonomous area was partially hit by a power outage, after a missile accidentally launched from the backyard of a local residents house destroyed a power line and flew into a barn where it killed a bull, the Interfax news agency reported Friday.
Local police said in a report the rocket was launched from the yard of a man who earned his living by collecting scrap metal. The man claimed the missile went off as he was sawing a piece of metal and a spark fell on the rocket.
The rocket first ploughed through the mans vegetable garden and hit the barn killing a bull before flying over the village, destroying a TV antenna on the roof of a one-story building and hitting a power line. It fell in woods near pasture where goats were grazing.
As a result, electricity supplies to the village were disrupted for 24 hours.
Shortly afterwards, the metal wires from the destroyed power lines were stolen by scrap metal hunters, the agency said in a report.
