I have seen a few impressive craters left from nothing more than sparklers wrapped in duct tape or black electrical tape. Even a single box of sparklers, wrapped in tape, with one sparkler extended as a fuse, goes off like an M-80.
Several boxes becomes something which I do not want to be anywhere close to. Scary schitt, with wire shapnel.
Maybe they will ban sparklers, and duct tape, and dry ice, and two liter pop bottles, and ammonium nitrate, and sudafed, and red matches, and ball bats, and knives, and cars, and booze, and........well I am sure I left something out.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Friend of mine has shrapnel from holding a rifle cartridge (30-30?) with a pair of pliers while his older brother smacked it with a hammer.

Ah, that's what I was trying to remember, sparklers wrapped with duct tape. Some of the little miscreants can get quite creative with leftover fireworks.

Used to pull 22lr bullets then light the powder and send the brass zinging away! Doesn't seem such a bright idea now.

I give thanks everyday that I still have my eyesight and all my digits after all the stupid [bleep] I did as a kid with fireworks, bb guns, and propellants. Hope this turns out well and is just something benign.

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

It's the primer that get's you. I just did it with a 12 gauge primer - at least I was smart enough to take everything else out of it first. Used a center punch. Ears rang for a few hours. Lesson learned, and I still have all my digits.

Breaking news: no explosives at all. Just a bottle filled with nuts and bolts and covered in tape left by a homeless man.

I'll be danged.
Hope it wasn't too evil a plot. Maybe just kids messing with chemistry. I'll be danged too. When we were kids, we were "manufacturing and detonating IEDs" and we never even knew it.

I made black powder from salt peter, sulphur and charcoal. It went boom. Nice to have a childhood.

My two grandsons attend school there so this incident has the family a bit out of sorts when they report ATF, FBI and bomb squad detonated an "IED". Curious to hear more details on what actually happened...

Come on guys, the news that it was nothing but a bottle filled with nuts and bolts was posted here 6 hours ago. They knew the identity of the person who left it and decided it as not malicious. Why post stuff based on just a thread title. Read the links!!!
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Fugging homeless people are supposed to be headed south by now!
