Explosive identified in Central Park blast

An explosion in Central Park that seriously injured a tourist during the Fourth of July weekend was caused by the homemade explosive TATP, according to multiple law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation.

The chemicals used to make the improvised explosive were placed in a shopping bag, investigators said. The bag was pressure sensitive and activated when a tourist put his foot on it and triggered the explosion, suffering severe foot injuries.

TATP is a notoriously unstable explosive that has been used in terrorist attacks for decades, including in the Paris attacks last fall and by the shoe bomber Richard Reid. It's often made from common household chemicals, such as beauty supplies.

Why does a person test a bomb? To see if it works. Why? To make more and/or bigger ones.

I agree this is highly likely to be a guy who's not going to just say "Ah, well that worked, now back to video games.".

My CHEST user experience and enjoyment ratings rating have gone in the crapper. Page after page of hysterical ramblings. Most of the MDL, although misguided does try to present a lucid if totally off base argument debate.
