The tannerite itself isn't illegal, the fact that he was on probation and not allowed to own weapons or explosives was what caused his problems. And on an unrelated note, I want his job if he can afford a .50 cal, 100 lbs of tannerite, and to blow up a truck.
That was a righteous detonation! Side note: If your actions directly cause a minimum of five people to shit their pants, you will be arrested and questioned by the authorities. Charges pending.
There was a friend of mine turned in to the authorities for blowing up 4lbs of tannerite on top of a propane cylinder from a grill. The fire marshal tried his ass off to get the guy charged with something until the sheriff's deputy of all people had to call the district attorney and have him tell the fire marshal there was nothing illegal about what had been done.
It's hilarious. This stuff has been available for YEARS without a slew of imaginary terrorist attacks, but you KNOW that someone is going to scream for a ban because "a terrorist could/might/maybe/somehow find a way to use this blow something up.
How long has this stuff been avaliable? 10 years? 20? 30? No-one has used it for terrorism. The only terrorism that happens uses gasoline and fertilizer, and they don't even work most of the time.
Hey, we should ban fertilizer. And ban shipping wood boxes, because they could have explosives in them. And gasoline. And ban swimming after eating. And loose pants. Refined sugars and rusty objects.
Sinister motives? Tanerite is not a practical explosive. You need a high powered rifle to set it off. I have yet to hear of a terror attack with tannerite. Stupid lib media.
As you can see, things that go boom are pretty much no fun up here in MN because the goddamn law always gets involved. How was he supposed to know there was a nuclear powerplant nearby? He was out on a fuckin lake and it was on his own property. I realise he had a criminal record and all that crap but that's a different story.
now he is marked as a terrorist by homeland security for the rest of his life. you can get that shit off amazon and ebay, and can be shipped by ups, fedex, and usps. there is NO shipping hazard at all. it is a 2 part mixture and separate they are neutral. thats NOT a "device". the tannerite was legally purchased and it was on private property, the court knew they couldnt charge him with anything. all they could possibly get him for is disturbing the peace
If you're on probation and are not allowed to posses a firearm, it's probably not a good idea to set off 100lbs of binary explosive with a 50cal rifle lol
He should be spanked by his step-mother, very hard, for causing such a scene. Other than that, I don't see what the problem is here. Private property, legal binary target, safety procedures followed. DDT THE ATF!
A its legal PER THE ATF to buy the components and to buy them in any any any ammount as long as you use it as soon as you mix it and not store it mixed its still legal. There is no Crime in doing the use right after mixing His crime was touching a gun while on probation had his idiot friend not recorded it they would have never known who what when where or why if they cleaned it up right away and now we know why stupid is as stupid does don't video tape it and its all good DUMB ASS!!!!
he was already on probation and not allowed to posses either a firearm or explosives. so he obtains the largest caliber gun possible AND explosives all at one time. that would most certainly land you in jail.
Tannerite is completely harmless unless put in the wrong hands. The only thing that should be done with the distribution of tannerite is a back ground check just like you need to go through when purchasing a fire arm.
Seriously leave the man alone, HEs having fun on his OWN land! Gov. needs to keep their nose out of other peoples buisness. I swear this country is losing more and more common sence every day.
People had better wake the hell up, there is nothing wrong with what he did. what the fuck is this country coming to. attack the working poor let the rich do whatever???
umm, he made something of his go boom on his property, no one got hurt, what country are we in again? AMERICA, so what is the problem? What next, how we go poop is regulated? Out of control - control freaks... AHHHHHHH
"device"? you mean a few buckets full of a chemical you can purchase legally? i'm all for protecting the US, fuck the terrorists (ALL OF THEM), but wow, this guy did nothing illegal. DHS needs to chill out just a little bit.
The reason he was prosecuted is because he was already a convicted felon. He was not allowed to possess a firearm or binary explosives. If you google "Brian Childs Tannerite" you'll find the actual police complaint in PDF. The last paragraph on the 2nd page clearly states his previous conviction. Plenty of other people have done the same thing without persecution. This is CNN's fault for reporting an incomplete story.
OK, I really want to know the charges involved here. If he mixed the individual chemicals on site, did not store the mixed explosives, or transport them, or sell them, or put on a display for money then there is absolutely nothing illegal about what he did.
You damn libtards never cease to amaze me with your ignorance and stupidity. Let's just ban everything, end privacy, end fun, and live in the Soviet Union.
For a lot less he could have gotten some 34-0-0 AN, mixed it with about 5% AL (powder is hard to get but flake can be powdered without a lot of effort) and gotten the same effect. The bottom line of it all is that it pretty conclusively demonstrates the futility of gun and other arms control when you can blow things up with fertilizer. Of course the WTC was effectively dropped with box cutters. Maybe we should ban them too.....
This is serious shit. Based on the dimensions of a 10 cu yd dump box (12 feet long), the frame rate (30/sec), and the travel of the large, rightward moving fragment, I calculate it is moving about 415 ft/sec, or 283 mph. If this were a car bomb it would have killed at least a dozen people in a crowd, and it certainly could have killed the person filming this, since he was 300 yards away and they found fragments 1/4 mile (440 yards away). Interesting, but mortally stupid as executed.
@1337Flyboy If they do want to take it we need to find a place in the middle of nowhere mix up ALL the tannerite in everyones iventories then tell pelosi, boxer, feinstein, reid, and all the other shitheads to go load it up wait till they get close and then the anti gun movement will be literly vaporized : )
you mix the two chemicals together in a container & it can only be detonated with a high power riffle
it can sit in burning diesel fuel for an hour and not be ignited the "Law enforcment officials" need to get their heads out of their asses and do a little research
that stupid fatass redneck needs to have a can of it duct taped to his head and shot
idiots like him are the reason the government keeps trying to control and run our lives and makes B/S laws
Sheriff Dean Egghead needs to be fired. This stuff has been available for decades! and our society has managed to slowly crumble along degenerately on its own... Whoever arrested this man needs to have their badge suspended. "He was on probation..." WHAT FUCKING LAW DID HE BRAKE?!?! CUZ THEY RELEASED HIM ALREADY! So it sounds like unlawful harassment to me.
Its just stupid how the government needs to harass people like this. Lets find the people who make explosions for major motion pictures and have them charged with felonies too. Anyone know what state this was in?
"To those with more sinister motives..." I think if someone really wants to destroy something, they would buy dynamite or something on the black market. They wouldn't buy something like this, where they have to mix it before hand and shoot it with a high velocity rifle.
@reddog418 yeah, but in this case, buying legal tannerite saved his ass. If he had bought illegal ANAL, he would've been in jail for sure. Ive always thought this was a curiosity though, because basically tannerite can be set off by highly confined f**** powder(theatre). So it is basically an industrial grade explosives set for sale and can be used as a terrorist weapon. But if you are going to be a terrorist, you would just go buy icepacks or fertilizer anyway. So whatever then.
I'm surprised they didn't charge him with possession of a firearm on private property too. Why not arrest FPS Russia for blowing up zombies with this stuff too?
It really feels like we live in a free country when a guy can't even play around with a "legal" product, cleared by BATF on his own property. I can understand the concern for his safety, BUT he did nothing illegal. That is just good ol' country boys gettin down on the farm right there. Trust me, with the chemicals on a farm he could have made a hell of a lot bigger bomb..
What a load of bollocks. Its your land which makes it your wright to do what you want with it. How can anyone have a problem with this. Just another example of this world going to shit!! I will do what i want when i want how i want a no one can tell me different. Why should some elected sponge who has no wright who has never worked a day in thier life tell me what to do with my free time!! I say do more my friend!! Good work!!!
its only tanerite you have to shoot it to make it go off, i do not get why they are making such a big fuss over it . This world is getting stupid. let him have his fun mabey if he just picked another location no one would care
outlaw it all you want. thats only gonna make me buy BULK AMMONIUM NITRATE AND ALUMINUM POWDER!!>!>!> and ill just make TRUCK LOADS OF IT MY SELF!. god damn this world can be so retarded
"Homemade bomb?" Hardly... this is a commercially produced binary explosive. NOT illegal to purchase and manufacture, let alone detonate on your own property.
Those uptight clowns would shit themselves if they knew the stuff I've done in the past.
well if he was already on probation i can see why he got felonies just touching a gun on probation is felony much less setting of a 100lb bomb. idiots like this are why my state banned bottle rockets
of course CNN, the liberal gun hating, fun hating, pussy-ass, socialist, "we-wish-our-rating-were-higher" failure of a media outlet would cover something like this... i'm surprised the rest of the "alphabet-soup" media didn't blow this out of proportion as well!!!
It is just tannarite... they keep saying device he made... all you gotta do is put it in a mcdonalds cup and shoot it and it explodes... its used for explosive targets... ugh, we are a nation of pussys
leave it up to the dead wing police department do anything fun around there and your goin to jail, bunch of wanna be loud exhaust seat belt traffic cops
LOL, I live in Welch about 15 miles away from there and I remember hearing that blast in my house, loud and clear. BOOOM! the windows rattled and we're like, WTF was that!
LOL, I live in Welch about 15 miles away from there and I remember hearing that blast in my house, loud and clear. BOOOM! the windows rattled and we're like, WTF was that!
soooo rediculous this guy did nothing wrong 1. Its on his property 2. the stuff is legal 3. he did not use it in a harmful or terroristic way. Police should worry about the real bad guys
@matthewbarton77 1) Near a power plant (a nuclear one at that which is just a few miles down the road), 2) possesion of a firearm while on probation 3) Purchasing and possessing explosives while on probation.
A modest proposal: Let's make C4s legal and sell them at local grocery stores. This is because you can kill someone with merely using your bare hands. Since your it's legal to possess a potentially deadly pair of hands, C4s should also be made legal. Both have the potential to kill!!!111!!
Btw, I think 100 pounds of tannerite is just a little more destructive than a crowbar. In the same manner, I think 100 lbs of C4 is more destructive than your bare hands ='(
@AznInsurrection777 And? Your counter argument is beyond flawed good sir. This is a completely legal product for purchase and distribution in the US, and the only way to set it off with a high velocity rifle(i.e pistols can't do nothing to it) with at least .223/2000 fps. Best part? Doesn't cause fires, only a huge boom of sound and smoke.
Makes me want to "stock up" on Tannerite....afraid they will make it illegal. Is that the effect they want to make? May have been bad judgement to use so much close to nuke plant, but make that the point....not the fact that the product itself was a legal explosive available on internet.
one half pound is maximum recommend. so at 200 times max... it was felt at the nuclear power plant . so he is stupid, don't set off a legal bomb next door to a power plant and maybe they will let it slide. but seriously Darwin should of sent you an award for your experiment how much does 100 lbs cost ... terrorism dosen't exist
@VoodooTactical1 It was actually 100 pounds and he got fined and jail time because he was on probation and wasn't supposed to possess any firearms, and it did set off the alarm at the local nuclear power plant. I'm from Minnesota and not too far from where this happened so I know all about it. =) lol
i love how CNN only gives you half the info about this tannerite such as its legal, harmless until mixed. Also, the guys mother's comment is out of context in that it doesnt say whos bad judgement it was; her sons or homeland security's. And i wouldnt call a bucket of this powder a device. A device has at least a timer, wires and probably nails or some such stuff in it. Fucking media lol
all it is is tannerite. its a mixyure of ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder. yes it does explode and yes it is awesome when it does. it is legal in all 50 states. if you don't believe me chaecl your local laws. it is classified as a black powder and you can own at most 50 pounds legally
So tannerite sells these exploding targets at 10lb a case for like $90. They have a bundle deal selling 6 cases for $384. You can purchase up to 100 units. That means you can get 60,000 lbs of tannerite for $38,400. Imagine the blast one could achieve with this!
Device? God damn media. It's freakin Tannerite. You mix the stuff, and put it in some kind of container. And shoot it with a high powered rifle. You can't light it with a fuse, or detonate it, it has to be shot with a rifle. That's the whole point of it..you make a 1lb target 500 yards away, and you know you hit it cause it makes a loud boom. This guy is an idiot for detonating 100lbs of this stuff. 10 pounds almost made my ears bleed from 250 yards away.
I live just outside Red Wing, and just so people know the 3 felonies he is being charged with was due to the fact of setting off a bunch of alarms at the nuclear power plant a few miles away. Although it is an awesome explosion, it is a serious matter when it concerns nuclear power and radiation.
I think the problem with Tannerite is that it basically is Ammonal without 1 component and is essentially a commercial counterpart of ANFO. It can be used to make explosive devices. Nothing stops a radical fuck to buy 200lbs of this on ebay, spice it up a little and blow up a school.
Get over the "i like to blow stuff up in my back yard" attitude and realize that someone might like to blow up your house.
With all the hatred against the US this stuff is just what some people were looking for.
A commercial name for a AN based explosive (AN, AP and metal powders as catalyst).
And? All you basically need is elementary school physics knowledge to increase blast effects and get an explosive that will be more effective than TNT/RDX, especially against structures.
I make the stuff from fertilizer and aluminum powder...its one of those $2 for a homemade one versus $8 for an official Tannerite target.

"To those with more sinister motives..." I think if someone really wants to destroy something, they would buy dynamite or something on the black market. They wouldn't buy something like this, where they have to mix it before hand and shoot it with a high velocity rifle.

Hmmm I wonder if CNN will come to my door?

Who cares he used 100lbs of tannerite. That would've costed you a fortune.
Or, you could have 20lbs of ammonium nitrate with a little sprinkle of aluminum powder for the EXACT SAME BANG for a fraction of the cost.
reddog418 7 months ago
@reddog418 yeah, but in this case, buying legal tannerite saved his ass. If he had bought illegal ANAL, he would've been in jail for sure. Ive always thought this was a curiosity though, because basically tannerite can be set off by highly confined f**** powder(theatre). So it is basically an industrial grade explosives set for sale and can be used as a terrorist weapon. But if you are going to be a terrorist, you would just go buy icepacks or fertilizer anyway. So whatever then.
drchen054 7 months ago
@reddog418 AN+AL is no more powerful than Tannerite. Tannerite is about 95% AN anyway. You would still use 100 lbs but it would cost a lot less.

It really feels like we live in a free country when a guy can't even play around with a "legal" product, cleared by BATF on his own property. I can understand the concern for his safety, BUT he did nothing illegal. That is just good ol' country boys gettin down on the farm right there. Trust me, with the chemicals on a farm he could have made a hell of a lot bigger bomb..

Yeah, someone could also take a crowbar and kill somebody with it. Are you going to argue against crowbars, too?
pcgeek86 10 months ago 83
@pcgeek86: Cute argument.
A modest proposal: Let's make C4s legal and sell them at local grocery stores. This is because you can kill someone with merely using your bare hands. Since your it's legal to possess a potentially deadly pair of hands, C4s should also be made legal. Both have the potential to kill!!!111!!
Btw, I think 100 pounds of tannerite is just a little more destructive than a crowbar. In the same manner, I think 100 lbs of C4 is more destructive than your bare hands ='(
AznInsurrection777 8 months ago
@AznInsurrection777 And? Your counter argument is beyond flawed good sir. This is a completely legal product for purchase and distribution in the US, and the only way to set it off with a high velocity rifle(i.e pistols can't do nothing to it) with at least .223/2000 fps. Best part? Doesn't cause fires, only a huge boom of sound and smoke.
Cute argument.

Makes me want to "stock up" on Tannerite....afraid they will make it illegal. Is that the effect they want to make? May have been bad judgement to use so much close to nuke plant, but make that the point....not the fact that the product itself was a legal explosive available on internet.
arlie4321 10 months ago 2
one half pound is maximum recommend. so at 200 times max... it was felt at the nuclear power plant . so he is stupid, don't set off a legal bomb next door to a power plant and maybe they will let it slide. but seriously Darwin should of sent you an award for your experiment how much does 100 lbs cost ... terrorism dosen't exist

all it is is tannerite. its a mixyure of ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder. yes it does explode and yes it is awesome when it does. it is legal in all 50 states. if you don't believe me chaecl your local laws. it is classified as a black powder and you can own at most 50 pounds legally

ShortGuy1792 11 months ago
So tannerite sells these exploding targets at 10lb a case for like $90. They have a bundle deal selling 6 cases for $384. You can purchase up to 100 units. That means you can get 60,000 lbs of tannerite for $38,400. Imagine the blast one could achieve with this!

Device? God damn media. It's freakin Tannerite. You mix the stuff, and put it in some kind of container. And shoot it with a high powered rifle. You can't light it with a fuse, or detonate it, it has to be shot with a rifle. That's the whole point of it..you make a 1lb target 500 yards away, and you know you hit it cause it makes a loud boom. This guy is an idiot for detonating 100lbs of this stuff. 10 pounds almost made my ears bleed from 250 yards away.

ayourczek08 11 months ago
I live just outside Red Wing, and just so people know the 3 felonies he is being charged with was due to the fact of setting off a bunch of alarms at the nuclear power plant a few miles away. Although it is an awesome explosion, it is a serious matter when it concerns nuclear power and radiation.

SCJohnson77 11 months ago
I think the problem with Tannerite is that it basically is Ammonal without 1 component and is essentially a commercial counterpart of ANFO. It can be used to make explosive devices. Nothing stops a radical fuck to buy 200lbs of this on ebay, spice it up a little and blow up a school.
Get over the "i like to blow stuff up in my back yard" attitude and realize that someone might like to blow up your house.
With all the hatred against the US this stuff is just what some people were looking for.

@bjizzle123 Yes i do.
A commercial name for a AN based explosive (AN, AP and metal powders as catalyst).
And? All you basically need is elementary school physics knowledge to increase blast effects and get an explosive that will be more effective than TNT/RDX, especially against structures.
