It had seemed like the perfect end to Easter Day - a bit of communal grilling in the garden. But a cosy barbecue in the Austrian town of Traiskirchen ended disastrously when a stray spark set a garden hut alight.
An oxygen canister stored inside exploded, flinging three people - who had gathered to grill sausages and drink beer - several metres and causing £170,000 damage to 16 houses, six cars and four bicycles.
Der Standard newspaper said two men needed hospital treatment for burns, while the 39-year-old woman who hosted the barbecue was treated for shock.
