can a van with something like 20 average sized jerrycans filled with nitroglycerin (and a proper setup to blow it all up) take down a manhattan office building?
...and the construction of the building. They were in Delaware, not Manhattan, by the way. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! (just may be the greatest film ever made)
they put it right under the building, in the underground parking area. it doesnt really matter where it is, right? an office building is an office building. also, if you had seen the movie, how did you not know how the buildings were demolished?
It matters a great deal. It mattere in the movie too. It wasn't just that van, if you listen, he said all the foundation columns were wrapped in explosives as well.
so then, is it really possible to destroy a building like that with friggin homemade nitroglycerin? (which is easy to make)
Of course - depending on construction of the building, the explosives and the proper placement. Look at the Oklahoma City bombing.
im talking major explosions that take down huge office buildings, not some shitty gaza missile or even something that could take out a crowd of a hundred people.
yeah, bombs i know bombs leave craters. its ability to destroy some brick or asphalt or a sand based ground doesnt say much about its ability to take down large office buildings.
It's not so easy. You would get caught just trying to obtain the materials. And some of these things are not easily transported.
one possibility would be to steal it, another would be ordering small quantities to build a large stockpile over time
The explosive power evidenced in those pictures, if placed correctly, will take down many different types of large office buildings. What are you planning, anyway? :bugeye:
why, im planning to take over the world. its mostly just something that has been going through my mind, wondering how easy it would be for people to blow stuff up on such a scale. i wonder as well, if there isnt much required to perform these suicide bombings, one has to think about this supposed "threat" of terrorism to the western world. if it was so easy, why wouldnt bombs be going off left and right in the US and western europe? unless of course, the terrorism threat is a bunch of overhyped bullshit.
