A fire extinguisher plant in Kansas City, Missouri was destroyed by fire on Friday after an unidentified worker ignored a "No Cellphones" warning sign.
The worker, disgruntled about having to work overtime, opened his cellphone to call his poker buddies to tell them that he would not be making it to their weekly game. The cellphone sparked a blaze that quickly engulfed the 15,000 square foot plant and sent fire extinguisher canisters flying for miles.
No one was injured in the incident. The plant manager estimates that it will take about six months to restore operations.
