Are Liquid Explosives on a Plane Feasible?

permaculture writes "The Register describes the difficulty of mixing up a batch of liquid explosives on a plane. Further, it opines that such a plot might work in a Hollywood film, but not in the real world. Liquid explosives were used for the 7/7 London bombings in 2005, according to the official account — or not, as now seems more likely."

What they should do

Is built the entire plane out of sodium. That way crashing it into the sea (or flying it through a rain cloud) would achieve the desired effect without all of the expense and inconvenience of organised terrorism.

Oh c'mon, was that really called for?

People like you are part of the problem. I hope you enjoyed your 10 second giggle.

Re:Terrorist true mission?

Luckily, by and large, these guys are a bunch of, shall we say, fuckwits. We have the balls to stop them, eh? And the rest of the world is just going to let terrorists attack them?

This is not a war between a few thousand dumbasses with bombs and the military might of the US. These people may think they can take over the world, but they aren't going to so they are just non-rational criminals. 15 guys with bombs aren't going to be able to take over a country. The totalitarians you should be afraid of are the ones that have power or real access to power. Not a bunch of disaffected people in the London suburbs or a cave in pakistan. They could target us all day and night but if they think they can destroy our country they are just fools. They couldn't destroy our country if we did nothing. They don't have the man power or the firepower. World domination is way beyond their ability. I think they know this as well. There goals are probably small and specific.

did you know there was white hot molten metal in the rubble of 9/11? no im not exagerating. And electron microprobe results for it show all the markers of thermate? even the gel used to make explosive nanothermate for blasting?

have a look here, and also read the pdf linked near the top, you'll see the proof of what I am talking about
