  I was not familiar with this type of explosive device, and this one one of the first things I found. I posted it because it has some good information including: - a video of one being detonated - information on the dangers of using these devices - some historical background - a list of cases where this type of explosive was found direct video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbaiCdX1XWc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbaiCdX1XWc

What ever happened to just dry ice and water? Drano...really? Kids these days. :\

  Where I grew up local stores would not sell either dry ice or "the works" (the favored brand, apparently) to kids. The effect is the same, which you choose is probably just a matter of which is available.

    When the thing bursts and sends liquid splattering all about... would you prefer it to be water with dry ice? or Drano? I know dry ice has some safety concerns but I can't imagine it is worse than getting sprayed with Drano. But I could be wrong about just how dangerous dry ice is.

      Dry ice bombs can actually be pretty darned hazardous. A friend spent some time in the hospital after making one.

      I wouldn't want to be sprayed by drano, but I wouldn't want to be next to either anyway. I have never heard of anyone actually being hurt by these things. Considering how popular they are, if they presented any appreciable danger you would think lots of people would be getting hurt by them.
