Must be some smoker smoke and then throw cigarette butt on the floor matting of the playground and walk off.

Hope SCDF finds the cigarette butt and deal with the guy severly. He could have gotten a few children dead just because of littering.

I was just testing the accuracy of my satellite based ion cannon, I must've left the exposure on for more than 8 seconds.
