Dynamite factory destroyed by dynamite makes more sense than dynamite
factory destroyed by termites

I don't know what it would be like to be near a small nuclear weapon
detonation in an urban area but maybe a good reference point:

As is common knowledge in the US, jet fuel is unable to melt steel
beams. Therefore large quantities of so-called "nano-thermite" were
smuggled into the World Trade Center towers, presumably over months or
years.

At which point remotely-controlled aircraft were then crashed into the
towers to create the impression of a terrorist attack, the passengers
being either all executed in secret or perhaps having never existed in
the first place.

Glen Canyon is a big hole in the ground.

100s of square miles of pristine canyonland, unlike anywhere else in the
world, flooded and trashed. Talk about a "big government project"...

I watched as JP4 burnt an entire tanker truck. The only parts left was part of the rear axle, and the rear bell of the tank that separated and rolled away from the flames. It also burnt the tar out of the highway, leaving only crumbling gravel. I was at the scene with our base photographer, who was sent to take photos for Ft. Rucker to use in court. A drunk ran a stop sign, and hit the fuel company's truck. The drunk had apparently used the entrance to Carin Airfield to turn around. He had a broken leg. They could find nothing of the driver's remains. This happened in 1973.

Hot steel softens, unmelted.

Totally retarded utter bullshit.

Put a few tens of stories of thousands of tons of building above
softened steel structures and they collapse. Each floor then
subsequntly snaps and fails, no melting needed.

Two fully fueled jet aircraft impacts and fires caused the WTC
building collapses, and fucking NOTHING ELSE.

Let me guess... you voted for that other total retard, Trump.

Next, you'll be telling us that the Moon landings were faked.

Yes. They weren't filmed on Earth however, they were filmed on Mars. for
more realism.

It's lucky these terrorists are lousy chemists, because if they knew
what they were doing and what to look for, they could cause an awful
lot more carnage simply from 'manipulating' the products freely
available to anyone right off the shelf in your local Home Depot type
store.

Strike anywhere matches USED TO HAVE a little droplet of a very
high explosive on their tip. Now, they simply thin the mix to thin
paint runniness, and dip the match heads in a couple mm, to result in
a much more abated strike anywhere tip.

The old ones were explosive as it gets. I had two 1" dia. by 12"
long bolts which I placed the nut on the end of one, only threaded
down a few threads, leaving two thirds of the remaining threads
exposed on the end of the bolt. Then, I carefully cut the heads off
of about 25 to 35 Ohio Blue Tip Strike Anywhere Matches and place
them in the nut and screw the other bolt down on top of that and very
gingerly stopping after applying a dangerous compression to the match
head tip pile inside. Then, believe it or not, I would go out into
the middle of MY STREET, and throw it end over end up the street
about 25 feet or so (I was about 13), and *get the fuck out* of the
plane of its rotation...


B A N G ! ! !, It would hit, and blow the other bolt off and send
it a hundreds yards up the street. We are talking about a few pounds
of steel here travelling at who knows how fast like a punted football
only harder. I am lucky I didn't kill someone. I thought it was
fun. That was in the early seventies. About ten years ago was when
I found out they changed the way they are made now. Can't find the
good stuff any more, ans scraping off the film on modern strike
anywhere would take you a year to gather enough to make a
puffsplosion.

So many things from the seventies that are gone that I wish were
back. Panama Red for one!

Potassium chlorate, I believe. Still used in regular matches, but as you
say, not very much of it. Mixed with dextrose and powdered glass and
bound with gum. Red phosphorus on the side of the box. P+KCl03 is
classified as a low velocity high explosive, but trying to buy KClO3
will get you denial and on a close watch list instantly. Schoolboys use
to be able to buy it by the kg jar - and red phosphorus too.

Some of my friends and I made black powder in the mid '60s, while in Jr. High school. We would carefully pack into empty glass two ounce bottles with metal lids. Even with a one minute fuse, you could feel the explosion. They were great for cleaning out that spiraled galvanized culvert pipe that is used under driveways.

We found a shopping bag full of shotgun shells in a vacant house. That
was a summertime supply of black powder.

Some of my friends at high school made some nitroglycerine. I didn't know about it at the time. They seem to have done a good job - it was pure enough that they couldn't get it to go off after they'd made it.

So they left the small bottle on the window-sill for about a week, then decided they ought to throw it out - literally. When it dropped into the garbage heap it did go off. Made something of a mess of the heap of rubbish, which was far enough down the yard that the blast didn't damage anything else..

Apparently optical photons photodegrade nitroglycine to less stable compounds, which are rather more shock-sensitive.

We made about 90 pounds that summer. A lot of small firecrackers rolled up in old newspaper, and held together with a piece of Scotch tape. The hardest part was the Mortar and Pestal to grind up the nitrates. That was tiring!

When automatic weapons were rare and expensive but high explosives were
cheap and readily available, bombings were the mass murder tool of
choice in the US:
