Reports of an explosion at Parsons Green underground station

[Machiavelli]

Ricster asked a question, i answered it, wasn't very obvious to him/her or he/her wouldn't have asked

You posted about ammonia in hair dye ffs.

None reported.
So far, I have the impression that it was a single burst of flame as a mini fireball which expands and then burns out.

Cheers boss, let's hope it stays that way

Witnesse's saying a strong chemical smell in the carriage, this suggests it's TCAP Acetone Peroxide type of device, not that easy to put together, very volatile, it will be an ISIS operative trained in a North African country, or Chechnya.

Mere speculation

Depends on the skills and training of the operative who has put it together, misplaced detonator or a cracked wire or a slightly rusts metal element and he's failed
This is why we are still digging up shells and bombs from WW1 and 2, slight manufacture defect and they wont explode, the tilt switch to the corrosive acid might have eaten through to near the TNT on old bombs but if the Canary in the factory has miscalculated how far he/she has put the explosive from the acid detonator it wont explode

Clearly read some books and think you're an explosive expert! Keep up the good work

So what if xiphos has read some books, not sure the need for this animosity towards him/her

He's more of an expert than me, so I'm grateful for his input, which is on a football forum rather than a government think tank.

Far too many smartarses, always looking to nit-pick

Once again a sensitive topic is being hijacked by people who simply want to get themselves heard.

Please be respectful to the issue and those that have been hurt,no more nonsense or bickering,thank you.

The 7/7 bombers used exactly that, they went around for weeks buying it up, they had to work with it ie purify it by filtering and boiling over and over but in the end it was pure enough to use, if they had gone for a fertilizer bomb it would have take a sack load unless mixed with semtex but this goes off quite quickly due to the chemical elements
