According to the Walton County Sheriff’s Department, a deputy responded to a 911 call Saturday about an explosion. The caller reported that 32-year-old David Pressley was shooting at a mixture of ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder in the woods and &#8220;had possibly blown his legs off from the explosion.&#8221;<br />
Two of Pressley&#8217;s friends fashioned a tourniquet around his leg, helped him into the front seat of a vehicle and drove him to a nearby road. EMS met the group there.<br />
&#8220;EMS advised David was missing his left leg below the knee,&#8221; the Sheriff’s Department report says.</p>

<div class="fb-like"> Pressley was airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, and is now recovering from the incident.<br />
One of Pressley&#8217;s friends told investigators they put three pounds of Tannerite into an old lawn mower &#8220;to blow it up.&#8221; The incident was captured on video.<br />
The video shows Pressley dressed in what appears to be a tactical vest, shooting a semi-automatic rifle at the lawn mower, getting off more than 20 shots. On the last shot, the lawnmower explodes.<br />
Shrapnel can be seen flying in all direction.<br />
&#8220;I blew my leg off!&#8221; Pressley yells.<br />
&#8220;Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance!&#8221; another voice is heard yelling.<br />
Tannerite is the brand name of a combination of ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder. When mixed and shot with a high-velocity bullet, it creates a loud noise and explosion. Videos showing such explosions have become popular on the Internet.<br />
&#8220;We get a lot of calls about Tannerite. It can be extremely dangerous if it is not used correctly,&#8221; Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman says.<br />
