Flint, Mi. - A local Taco Bell restaurant has been severely damaged after a massive explosion in the parking lot destroyed the pavement and shattered the windows of practically every building within a mile and a half radius. Officials speculate that the blast ruptured an underground gas line causing the lingering stench that has draped the entire city.

Although there are no reported deaths at this time, interviews with employees of the Taco Bell indicate that the blast may have been a suicide bombing.

Dale Blakely, a day shift manager was on site when the explosion happened and described the events.

"There was this scruffy guy in a ball cap who's been coming in on a regular basis since early last November. He always acted strange, mumbling about stolen elections, crying in the corner. The store owner told us to leave him alone since he alone made up for 48% of our monthly profits.

He was at the door this morning when we opened as usual, but instead of his normal breakfast of a dozen 7 layer burritos he went right for a case of bean tacos and a large Fanta Orange. "

Blakely said the man screamed something about needing a pack of Tums and left to go to his car when the explosion happened. The man has not been located since.

Flint officials have released a still from the Taco Bell security camera. If you have any idea of the identity or whereabouts of this man please contact city officials immediately.
