A bomb-laden van found on a Brooklyn street by a car thief was wired to detonate by remote control, and had likely been sitting there for more than five months...
Investigators believe the homemade explosives found Thursday night in the Ford Econoline belonged to Yung Tang, 39, a Chinese national. He has been behind bars since he was caught Jan. 29 in Wallingford, Conn., with nearly identical bombs in his Mazda MPV minivan.
Also found in the MPV were two silencers, four hollow-point bullets and two radio-controlled detonators.
Days after that arrest, the NYPD searched his Brooklyn house and found yet anther van - a Ford Explorer - full of similar explosive devices.
Sources said the homemade bombs inside the Econoline - made of Styrofoam cups, 10-ounce water bottles, cans of WD-40 and five-gallon jugs filled with gasoline - were rigged to go off via a remote car-door opener.

He was doing well in his bomb-making courses, but just hadn't gotten to the part where they teach him how to make detonators.

i dunno, those Styrofoam cups are pretty darn hazerdous.

This "journalist" must get paid by the word.

Styrofoam dissolves in gasoline to creat a napalm like substance.

Apparently, he doesn't need keys. If he wanted the city, he could just use his Slim Jim & a hot-wire.

They might be if they were used to shape a charge.

In the South Bronx, the van wouldn’t have had any wheels after the first night, and the entire carcass would’ve been cannibalized, including the styrofoam cups, water bottles, wires, and remote control.
To: TYVets
I noticed that too. Four hollow point bullets is basically out of ammo. I have several thousand .22LR cartridges which have those awful hp bullets.
Now that I think about it, I have a few hundred, maybe even a few thousand center fire hps too.

The van sat on a Brooklyn street for more than five months? Har to believe it took five months for someone to steal it.

I cant imagine a vehicle sitting anywhere in NYC for months without some of the more enterprising local yuts checking it out. Especially in Brooklyn. ;-)

(I was taught to respect my elders, but it's getting harder to find one.)
Sources said the homemade bombs inside the Econoline - made of Styrofoam cups, 10-ounce water bottles, cans of WD-40 and five-gallon jugs filled with gasoline - were rigged to go off via a remote car-door opener.
Is anyone else curious as to why they'd feel the need to actually post this jackass's recipe in the article?
