I couldn’t imagine the amount of adrenaline that would pass trough me if I was one of the passengers that “subdued” him. I’d prolly try to kill him with by bare hands. ---

So looks like PETN is the new explosive of choice for smuggling on a plane. Pretty cool stuff when you start reading about it. 50 grams wrapped around a tree: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZENvUVG6TE](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZENvUVG6TE) The bomber apparently had 80 grams. The big problem is PETN is extremely stable and requires a pretty good fire before it will explode. So big :tup: to the people who jumped this guy before he could get his underwear bomb up to it’s ignition temperature. 250g vs washing machine: ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > Yeah, except the Americans sat on their fat asses while someone else saved them. The guy was Dutch or whatever. Meh. You can talk big talk but until you’re sitting there watching a guy set a bomb in his lap on fire you can’t say for sure what you’d do. I generally keep my head in an emergency and like to think I’d be one of the people tackling him but know that in a real life or death emergency about 80% freeze, 15% panic, and that 5% who have trained heavlily for the emergency or been in enough emergency situations to know what to do react. ---
