Default Bombs - WARNING

Says that if you find a soda bottle with any liquid in it, to call 911
for proper disposal. Well, gee, I could be calling 911 several times a
day with that advice. Watch that get me locked up in the funny farm.

Although none of us will probably encounter the situation described
here,
one never knows for certain, and if forwarding this saves on person
from
getting hurt, then it is worth it.

Bob-tx


Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in soda
bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns. When you go to pick
up
the trash, and the bottle is shaken just a little - in about 30
seconds
or less it builds up a gas and explodes with enough force to remove
some
of your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as
well.
Don't pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or
in
the gutter, etc.

Pay attention to the following:
1. a plastic bottle with a cap.
2. a little Drano.
3. a little water.
4. a small piece of foil.
5. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and
other
serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. People are finding these
"bombs" in mailboxes and in their yards, just waiting for you to pick
it
up intending to put it in the trash. But, you'll never make it!!! It
takes about 30 seconds to blow after you move the thing.

How about just hole it with a pellet gun or .22 from a good distance?

Or just ignore it for a day. By then the pressure will
be gone and the plastic and draino will be nothing but a gooey
mess.

I think it's ok if the liquid is yellow. That happens around here
sometimes.

Why bother the cops? Take care of it yourself. One shot should do it.

In most towns in New York State, that will result in a 911 response of
PD and SWAT. Of course, that saves you a call. Let me know how that
works for you.

Works, if you can get everyone else in the world to leave it alone,
also.

Damn Nanny State. Okay, how about hitting it with a leaf blower, and
blow it out into the street?
