The Nashville Bomb was fuel-air. Knuckledraggin links a breathless news release that this perp must have been a real rocket genius and they have no idea how he achieved the right chemical balance and the electronically-timed ignition.
Bullshit. You don’t need an electronic timer when you go up with the bomb. As for achieving the right fuel-air mixture, Knuckledraggin’s commenters have various ideas, some of which are simple and probably reliable.
If you think you’re so fucking smart you figured out exactly how this Vaporized Vandal did the deed, maybe your best hold is to shut the fuck up. And if you have it mind to “roll your own” like a fucking terrorist, do everyone a favor and make sure nobody other than you gets killed.
Maybe you think you’re in a war. Maybe you think it’s time to go kinetic. I guarantee you a campaign of random murder will not win. Apparently the Nashville Bomber understood that, though it’s anyone’s guess what he was trying to accomplish.
