Eh, it could have been bigger.

As we recently noted, fire and gasoline are two things that you should really not put together — and yet, idiots will still make the mistake of marrying the two with explosive results. Typically, this happens as the result of an accident, but every once in a while, someone will come with hate in their heart and try to use the combustible nature of the substance for evil.

Such is the case with this Russian man, who approached a gas station with the intent of blowing it up.

Here’s how well he did (it didn’t go great).
