Any of you guys read or hear about this news story?

http://abcnews.go.com/International/...3329695&page=1

Dumbasses with containers of petrol, butane, and propane, with a bunch of nails trying to do damage to a nightclub. The media says this device was a bomb, and could have caused significant bodily harm.

My gf saw the story on TV, and when she first told me, the first words she used to describe it was containers of gasoline at which point I almost died laughint.

Figured you guys might get a kick out of it too.

Fucking hate the media, regardless of what country.

asilentbob · #2 2007-06-30, 01:40

Yeah those were my thoughts as i heard it on the radio... there could be another device that bursts the propane tank... of course that sort of key thing is rarely overlooked. Retards.. all of 'em.

Haven't read the article yet. Too busy... stars...

tyrael · #3 2007-06-30, 01:51

did it have batteries and wires
i hear they can be deadly
but seriously there must be something they didn't release to the press
that or it was just a guy stocking up on nails and petrol
that's Occam's razor for you

BOMBS OVER BEIRUT · #4 2007-06-30, 02:23

Who blows up a Mercedes! Seriously...

The_Shoal · #5 2007-06-30, 02:46

Ultimate fail. I can imagine the look on their faces when they expected it to explode into a million pieces, and it just caught fire instead.

Flamethrowa · #6 2007-06-30, 02:53

Why do they have to say laden with explosives then? Obviously they were hoping the gas would shoot nails out but I seriously doubt that. Goddamn news coverage, I swear they are payed off to play things up for votes and tax money.

At great personal risk, sources say, the bomb technician then defused the bomb by hand.

I bet that guy is laughing in his sleeve, but lapping up the glory. He knew what the fuck was going on, haha.

I started lolling.

T3H T3RRORISTS!

*shakes head*

And what are the odds this shit was on CNN all night, with some politician getting his dick sucked for an overblown threat by incompetents with der gasolin.

We would be in trouble if terrorists had brains.

Did you read the part about 'the cellphone detonators must have failed'? Well NO SHIT they failed.

I think the report on this one was okay.

Ew. Guy into HE? Not unheard of, eh? But...he did kind of shit in suburbia...thats just not smart, or particularly safe.

FullMetalJacket · #11 2007-06-30, 05:20

Heh, I just got the paper this morning, it was front-page.

Article didn't say what was in the car bomb, but that police were removing 'what looked like gas cylinders'

13579 · #12 2007-06-30, 05:35

What even made them think it would explode?

Anything with batteries and wires that looks slightly weird is automatically considered a "bomb" now.

I had at least 4 people ask me if my taken apart disposable camera was a bomb.

EDIT:

"ABC News has learned the bomb was composed of tanks of propane, butane and 125 liters of gasoline (33 U.S. gallons)"

Now how much did that cost? For the same price they could have probably made a device that would have actually worked.

Mokothar · #13 2007-06-30, 11:47

I honestly don't get how the fuck these idiots can be so stupid.
I mean, if you're willing to risk your life and freedom to do some damage, why the fuck go about it in such a half-assed way?

Oh well, all the better that those fucks are retarded I guess.

tordek battlehammer · #14 2007-06-30, 12:39

Haha tis a great day when such a serious news article as such makes me laugh out loud.

Where the fuck did the arabs get a Mercedes? And damn thats just so stupid and over exaggerated I want to cry!

Faithless · #15 2007-06-30, 12:52

My favourite theory is its an drunk unlicensed cab driver.

Those guys carry a whole bunch of crap in them.

Hits a lamp post and bails.

But in any case this is going to be used to boost police and the secret polices budgets.

stupid noob · #16 2007-06-30, 17:10

Yeah, one of the first things I said was, you KNOW there weren't any real explosives when the bomb squad went in and did it all by hand.

I feel insulted kinda, by these types of media stories. Do they really think everyone is THAT dumb?

Faithless · #17 2007-06-30, 18:06

Yes. Because most people don't have the time and inclination to educate themselves on every subject.

Mokothar · #18 2007-06-30, 18:23

Well, how many of the newcomers here still believe that you can get a propane tank to explode?
People believe what they see on TV.

Two guys just drove a burning car into a Glasgow airport terminal, did way more damage than their pathetic attempt at a bomb.

tyrael · #19 2007-06-30, 19:41

its funny that they likened it to a Baghdad car bombing
personally i would liken it to a night out in Macclesfield
people in the up scale parts of the country are so out of touch with reality
go to any council estate in the country and you will find some nuts dancing around a burning car

Fletcher · #20 2007-07-01, 13:23

Yeah I lol'd.

I heard on the news "A potential means of detonation", so whether that meant the petrol heating the gas canisters up enough to pressure-explode them or not I don't know.

delusional_reality · #21 2007-07-02, 20:40

yeah the IRA were fair more intelligent than these retarded fucks..which isn't saying much, since I'm Irish and know that the majority of the population is...well pretty damn slow!

kwstag · #22 2007-07-02, 20:54

I saw that on TV too when I was in Indiana lol.

justglad2bhere · #23 2007-07-05, 12:52

Now we know. A fuel-air device is the worst. I've never heard of one used like this. They're lucky that the two devices failed to ignite.

rifter · #30 2007-07-10, 08:54

A recent news report equally as, if not more, laughable.

"Bomb" left on walkway, made from half a gallon of gasoline (equivalent to 40lbs of dynamite!

) would have destroyed several houses had it gone off, according to officials.

I noticed he seemed to have a thing about blowing himself up. In multiple threads he kept asking what it would feel like if you blew yourself up, he even made a thread in the subject. That kid was a bit fucked in the head as well as stupid.

Well, we've all wondered. I mean, if you haven't, then somethings fucked up. And I haven't changed, there has just been an influx of dumbasses is all.

tordek battlehammer · #33 2007-07-15, 01:07

Ah well il take your word for it! Its not exactly a sudden influx of retards, BB has always been frequented by retards. Compared to how it was things have improved a lot lately.

Still not as good as it was, but things change.

blinky04 · #34 2007-07-15, 06:48

I would actually say that BB has been pretty good lately. I can't recall that many ridiculous threads lately.

tordek battlehammer · #35 2007-07-15, 09:57

I think you kind of get used to it after a while, still summer hasn't fully started yet and its going to be a long one!

true, but tings are better. I think most of the idiots get the idea to stay out, or go to BI. I also think things are just getting worse in ways. Most of us are not doing any thing people want to know about. Remember when resso had us jacking off to things he was doing? So the noobs don't really see us as a huge place of fireworks and HE's....we all do them, but people are just not posting videos and such. Though, with the IRC we really don't need to make a post of it...we know everything that we are going to be doing.

When they're not being paid off to play things up for the beauty industry, the soft drink industry, and food-saftey pressure groups - you are correct! That is EXACTLY what happens!

...fuck, if I wasn't such an asshole, I could tell you exactly how it's done... but I'm not; the short version is, you're right, and south of your border this is called "soft money."
