Little SOB's....

"Bottle bombs" or "Drano bombs" are currently occurring more often than usual in Baltimore (as well as some other places). This type of "prank" has been around for a while anyway, but it's become a bit too "popular" to ignore.

Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little bit of water (often colored to look like left over cola) in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, mail boxes, in gardens, driveways, etc..

If the bottle is picked up, and shaken even just a little bit, the combination takes about 30 seconds to build up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove fingers, eyes, etc. The liquid is also boiling hot and not so very good for the skin.

Be careful picking up any plastic bottles you see lying around the yard, gutter etc.

I swear I'm losing my faith in people. Who exactly is teaching these kids that this is a funny thing to do to people? That's for putting this up Loki. Never heard of this type of home made acid bomb.

that's pretty f'd up. From the sounds of it, I would think fake, but it might have some legitimacy in as there is a link at the baltimore city gov
http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/New...d/drano%20bomb

Snopes is also confirming it. Damn people are sick.

not shocked the end is near

I use to make bombs like this when I was in High school but it consisted of dry ice, water and a 2 liter bottle. I also use to make a smoke bomb out of Salt peter(potassium nitrate) and sugar and an aluminan can.

Ironic part is...i bet the kids doing this crap got piss poor grades in science classes.

They're called McGyver bombs. It started a long time ago after some of these idiots learned how to do it from the tv show. And, since some people can be a little naive about this .... if it ever happens to ur mailbox or something , use rubber gloves and ur hose for clean up cuz this stuff will burn the shit out of ur skin.
