"...640 pounds of dynamite..."


Probably just kids who are going to pull a prank and set-off all the car alarms when they detonate it at 4:00 am.

Watch YouTube for people shooting explosives from a distance (that is usually not quite far enough).

Look for two 14 year olds or some guys from the local Operating Engineers hall.

That would be the last prank they pull... that's a lot of dynamite.

Hope this isn’t related to the riots they are planning in Pittsburgh tomorrow when Trump fires Mueller.

640 pounds of explosives locked in a truck trailer overnight. Seems like adequate security.

What are the license requirements for securing 640 pounds of dynamite and 400 blasting caps?

Something more than a "locked truck trailer" I suspect.

Not really. The trailer needs to be located far enough away from other structures, and needs to get the okay from the local fire marshal. The caps need to be in a heavy-duty, thick steel box with locks. The locks are covered so a bolt cutter won’t cut them, but a cutting torch would get the box open.

The “dynamite” needs to be in a separate locked trailer. I’m guessing it isn’t the stick dynamite found in Bug’s Bunny cartoons, but probably a binary component where you mix them together (basically fertilizer and jet fuel). But still makes a big boom.
