WHY would petn be harder to detect than any OTHER explosives...?!?! dogs go after nitrated stuff, TATP would be harder.. but less stable.. i gotta agree with australian pyromaniac, theyre all setting it up like the ''hole'' would blow the plane completely away.. look how the demolition expert just WALKS away from it, but the journalist RUNS for his life.. LoL
-
@HDRCX550VE yes, but he pressed it.. but plasticized it?? i dont think so dude.. he wasnt even able to detonate it..
-
Well, maybe, but in my opinion I think his blowing holes threw steel plates counts as discovering the shaped charge. Also, the present day anti-armor weapons still to this day use the copper lined shaped charge to penetrate armor. Unless of course they are using depleted Uranium rounds ect...
-
@segarza That may be true he discovered the effect. He did not however discover the actual weapon, that the present day anti-armor weapons use, as far as I know.
-
@MrChemistryTime Sorry but that's not correct. Charles Munroe discovered the shaped charge effect in 1888 using compressed Guncotton charges. It was called "The Munroe Effect" in his Honor.
-
@Enigma4072 He's an explosives expert. He invented the shape charge.
-
@HDRCX550VE he did use a primary explosive in the tube ....not really a blasting cap but he doesn't just put a fuse in .

Typical news report: Sensationalist and misinformed.

@Enigma4072 6 grams could have easily gone through that plate, he didn't even use a blasting cap so it would have been a partial detonation. Also, the bomber probably plasticised it to achieve a higher density, it wouldn't be in a loose pile like that. There are many other explosives that match their description of a suitable explosive: ETN, RDX, MHN to name a few. I always hate the news for things like this.
