It is always amazing how many different types of bombs people can make. Who knew that you could make an effective bomb from Drano (directions
available here and to a
simpler design see here)? All you need is aluminum foil, Drano, and seltzer water. From Fox News:
An Oregon teenager was arrested Saturday after he allegedly built bombs with the intent of waging a "Columbine-style" attack on his high school, authorities say.
17-year-old Grant Acord will be charged as an adult with attempted aggravated murder and also faces six counts of manufacturing and possessing a destructive device after investigators found six bombs in a secret compartment in his bedroom, Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson said. . . .
He said Acord had written plans, a checklist and a specific timeline for the attack. The bombs investigators found included pipe bombs, Molotov cocktails, a Drano bomb and a napalm bomb, Haroldson said. . . .
This doesn't surprise me a bit. Restrictive gun laws create an incentive to substitute toward more destructive/risky/dangerous items like these bombs.
