Ancient Chinese official Wan Hu strapped 47 firecrackers to a chair to travel the space, made his servants light them all at once, and disappeared in a massive cloud of smoke. (infosec.pub)

I wonder how much the servant enjoyed blowing up their boss/master?

Servants...he told us to do it! Yeah yeah...we strapped him to the chair like he said, then we light up all rockets like he said also..uhuu...ahaa..yeah. And he wasn't even twitching or complaining or fighting the ropes screaming, "WTF what are you doing to me!" Or anything.
