"Saltpeter(nitrates) is the main ingredient in TNT as you just posted so do you even read the wiki links before posting them?:roll:"....
I was simply suggesting you`re not the nut you came across as when saying you built `gunpowder` out of these ingrediants, as a child.
Explosives, yes, gun-powder, no.
ps.....have you ever considered applying for work in this field overseas...Asia and the Middle East in particular? I hear it`s a lucrative occupation.:smile:

Well, sometimes a very big hole still doesn't bring down an airplane. However, larger airplanes are more succeptible only due to the larger volume of pressurized air. The Aloha 737 below suffered a structural failure in flight, not a bomb, but still landed successfully.
Actually, they checked his leg, but yooooooooooono whut they say about Arabs. They thought it was "something else'.........nudge nudge, wink wink. eh wot.
Typical Brits: Denying a visa to study at the University of Bogus; second only to Oxfoid.....eh.
Bogus on Avon, even.
Jeez, Blackleaf, start treating your wannabees better, or the next target could be the Tiger Moth exhibit............or the (gasp!!) Spitfire on Thames.
8O glad they got the fukker just the same. too bad he hadn't "fell" outa the plane on landing.:-?
Anfo also requires rdx(boosters,caps,det cord) as an initializer,anyone whos worked blasting knows that.
I've never blasted underground but this product is used all the time in surface mining,anfo is used instead of stick dynamite because of the cost.
It still needs RDX or tnt to set it off.
I'm surprised someone with supposed blasting experience wouldnt know this.
You need to in order to get your blasters ticket here.
Theres a reason the law says they have to be stored seperately.
Hope this clears up petro's confusion or ignorance in surface blasting.:roll:
Yes Gerry,we made it from pottasium nitrate,charcoal,sulpher and sometimes icing sugar was added. :roll:
So here ya go,one of the ingredients in gunpowder is *gasp* fertilizer.

I'm not a ticketed blaster,just worked the hard rock mines for 25 years and worked on the blasting crew for a few of them.I also hold a shifters ticket to supervise any hard rock mine in Nunavut so you need to know your blasting ****e to pass your test and supervise blasters.
You at least have to know what a c4 booster or det cap looks like or how to cut shock tube and test for petn.
You also have to know the laws on storing the stuff as non compliance means huge fines from the mines inspector and your ticket pulled.
Heres the last blast I was involved in,we were blasting the end of a runway for the airstrip at meadowbank mine Nunavut and I was blocking the one end off.
Watch closely right after the shot and you will see the blasters run for cover under the rock truck and then the dust as fly rock starts landing all around them.
I stopped filming then and crawled under my machine also.

"Britain refused to offer him a student visa when he tried to get into Britain to study at a bogus university."
Uh ...the university of London is far from 'bogus'. It's been around since 1826, and was ranked 4th in the world. Hardly bogus.and he was there from 2005 -2008
You might want to check out the 'bogus university'.

Bottom line is that there will always be people who don't quite fit the profile and unfortunately you can't screen every single person. It also goes to show that smart, well brought up people from nice families make horrible choices to do really dumb, really hurtful things.
''why was he not on a no fly list since he HAD been tagged by the americans? ''
Didn't he get onboard overseas?
Didn't he get onboard overseas?
The US Transport Security Administration requires the full passenger name (as it appears on your passport), date of birth, and gender of ALL passengers departing, arriving, or transiting through the US 72 hours prior to their departing flight.
They had plenty of time to red flag this clown, given that even his father raised concerns to authorities. Sometimes makes you wonder if all these security measures are merely window dressing, or being seen to be doing something rather than actually doing something.

I have not read all 3 pages but your title - much ado about nothing - utter BS - If he had the correct mixture, which he did not, thankfully, that plane would have been blown out of the sky somewhere over Ontario.
