In a bizarre incident, the Big Hi Foot in New York City’s Sloomin’s 100th Street area was left in ruins after a grizzled engineer’s antics went awry. According to eyewitnesses, the engineer, identified as Jasper J. Roper, seemed oblivious to the mayhem he was about to unleash. ‘He seems to think it will be a good while yet,’ a witness reported Roper saying before the blast. But it was not to be. The engineer’s reckless behavior led to a massive explosion, scattering debris and destruction throughout the area. Miraculously, no one was reported injured in the incident.
