WHAT MANIAC PUTS EXPLOSIVES IN THE SAME TRAILER AS AMMONIUM NITRATE ?
PREMATURE DETONATION ?
Timothy Mcveigh was unavailablr for comment ...
I keep on getting those Takata airbag recall notices from Honda that say it’s dangerous to keep driving my car, but every time I contact the dealer they say the replacement parts aren’t available yet. I’m now on a wait list.
It may well be that the ammonium nitrate was the part of the detonation charge for inflating the air bags.
The new airbag propellant was supposed to be the next big thing for Takata in 1998. An engineer for the company, Paresh Khandhadia, declared it “the new technological edge” in an interview with a trade magazine then.
Based on a compound called tetrazole, it was seen as a reliable and effective compound for inflating airbags. Yet despite the fanfare, by 2001 Takata had switched to an alternative formula, ammonium nitrate, and started sending the airbags to automakers, including Honda.
Idiots. Sodium Azide is much more stable in its environment and costs maybe a dollar more to use.
‘Fortunately Professor Balls took refuge behind a case of inflatable goiters.’
Ironically “quemado” means “burned” in English-having driven through that town on the way to someplace else in the past, we joked that it didn’t look burned...
the death of the 69-year-old lady was confirmed after a two-day search, while she was considered missing. Dental pieces found at the scene of the explosion were discovered during the search, which concluded that the sole resident of the house died in the blast.

“The force of the explosion damaged about 10 nearby homes, breaking windows and dislodging doors from their hinges, local media reports said, with rubble and truck parts found almost a mile away from the site of the blast near Quemado, Texas.”
Was watching a TV show last night, Boston EMS.
One of the stories was a car that the airbags had deployed, no dents, no scratches in bumpers.
The driver had severe burns on her face, including an eye.
The bag must have caught fire. Part on the steering wheel center was melted.
IIRC the original problem was the metal container coming apart and blowing shrapnel into the cabin.
Are they made in China? Sounds like something they would pull, cheapening the product.
I worry about them going off while I’m wearing glasses.
