they were mixing the explosive cocktail with a customised hand held drill that they had added a stirrer to.the sparks in the drill mechanics caused the explosion

flash powder is nasty stuff, but i didnt know it was THAT nasty.

I heard his mother's head was found 2 miles away.

Thats crazy.. Im assuming that there must have been a large 'hopper' or the like filled with flash. I say this because of the sheer power and bodies in pieces. Figures the guy who lived was the idiot behind it, like a drunk surviving a crash but killing others.

@RcUniverseGuy The government cant sell illegal fireworks.

why would they destroy the explosives? the government should have used it or sold it

I grew up 3 miles from there. It sounded like a war with all the fireworks going off. I didn't hear you mention the factory was in a secret basement underneath the "worm farm". This caused it to blow UP (like a shotgun pointed up). I drove by and there were big trees on the right side of the lot. The tree tops were full of clothes of the dead. There was a big hole in the ceiling of a house on the other side of the lot and I understand they later found a body in the attic of the house. Phil Lea

Ended it without notice didn't ya? I sometimes make these m-80's and my parents made me search this stuff and I've got to say, it's horrific now that I see what can happen??!?!!!? Holy $h/! It's terrible!!

How loud was it?
they must have been mixing a few kilos of the stuff to throw a torso 100 yards and to blow windows across the street and level a building unless they had a large storege area full of them and a fire started
