Over the weekend, three students on spring break took it upon themselves to have a dynamite time in Daytona Beach. Quite literally. And we’re not talking about JJ Walker-style dy-NO-mite, either. No, in this case, the story involves real explosives.

According to news reports, the three male students procured a quarter stick of dynamite from some randoms on the beach (riiiighht) and decided to use their book smarts to detonate the explosive at 2:30 a.m. while standing on a sun deck at the Oceanside Inn. The blast sent glass, metal and debris flying 100 feet in the air, pissed off police and generally freaked out the guests at the hotel.

Whatever happened to old school spring break pastimes like getting tanked, talking trash and making out with strangers?
