Breitbart TV on how to make a binary explosive....

You still have a far bigger chance to get killed from one of your crazy uncles at Thanksgiving than you do a terrorist.

I will not comment, but I did find another discussion on this exact video: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/tilted-weaponry/111278-binary-explosives.html Specifically, reply #3.

It worked for me. Here's what it said:
it's a fake and a bad one at that. Look at the 3 frames of the actual explosion. The first frame shows a skyline with trees. The sky is a bit orange due to a lowering sun. The explosion frame shows those trees faded out, with blue sky magically in place, and all you see is the explosion, not the chunks of watermelon. In fact if you look real close you can see a ghost image of the still-intact watermelon. The third frame shows a much more advanced sunset and no watermelon.

So what this goober did was to get stock footage of an explosion from somewhere and superimpose it (BADLY) over his watermelon, which he then removed from the pole before shooting more video of the scene.


As for this binary explosive crap - - uhh, MANY explosives are made by combining inert substances. Saltpeter is not explosive (it's used in incense to make the stick burn more evenly), and neither is sulpher, but if you combine them they make gunpowder. Voila, binary explosive.

Oh, and even if the explosion were real, as Gallagher has proven, watermelons aren't exactly hard to destroy.

I have no clue if it's accurate. I haven't even watched the original video. Just passing along info.

Oh, here's another post with an interesting link (from the same thread posted above):

Binary explosives do not exist as the news and hollywood would have you believe. In order to creat an explosive similar to the results seen you would actually need a bit of laboratory equipment, a few hours to kill, and more skill and brainpower than what these jokers have.

I am not entirely conviced this video is fake or real. However, I have seen this video before from much more credible sources...

Even IF such a small amount of explosive could cause such damage, there's no way it would vaporise a watermelon by just being taped to the side with no means of directing the energy towards the melon.
 
Good replies all, thanks. Gullible me never considered somebody would fake something like that.


Cordially,

You guys know how some people sneak drugs by swallowing them? Well I'm just waiting for someone to swallow two inert explosives, want to know what the TSA will come up with: Please lay down behind your carry on when going through the x-ray machine :dunno:

Sounds economical: Think, all the radioactive passengers can be thrown in for fuel when they croak. Now that is recycling.
