Port Authority bomb was made of Christmas lights, sugar and a battery: cops

The Port Authority bomber fashioned his crude explosive device out of a 5-inch piece of pipe, a 9-volt battery, sugar, match heads, Christmas tree lights and screws

Imbecilic Explosive Device ping...

Never would have made it to timers.

[thesharkboy]

the pipe wasn’t packed tightly enough to explode

The average IQ in Bangladesh is 82. I wonder which side of the bell curve he's on.

[skimbell]

Bet ISIS takes a pass on claiming this moron.

[RandallFlagg]

Time for background checks on sugar!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Maybe he can share a cell with the underwear bomber and they can compare burn scars.

[fruser1]

“sugar”

Maybe he just wanted to coat everybody with caramel.

[Army Air Corps]

Common sense match control.

[dfwgator]

Bet ISIS takes a pass on claiming this moron.

Let's just say, if he was cast in the movie "The Warriors", he'd be a member of "The Orphans."

High fructose syrup is still ok.

[RandallFlagg]

Surprised they haven’t started with, “SEE?? If there were no Christians, there’d be no more Christmas lights that people can make go splodey-boom!!!”

[posterchild]

First you get da sugar, then you get da detonation, then you get da virgins.

[dfwgator]

“You put da lime in da coconut...”

[faithhopecharity]

STOP SELLING CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IMMEDIATELY!
(require payment of a tax to the government, a background check, and 10 days waiting period! ATF will Now become ATFCL
.....)

[FrdmLvr]

LMAO!

I think this was more a container failure than an explosive failure.

If the ends of the pipe had been properly secured they would not have failed and the gasses created by the matches and sugar may have reached higher pressures and actually ruptured and fragmented the pipe.

Not having access to the actual device my statement is only a WAG.

[Army Air Corps]

Bet ISIS takes a pass on claiming this moron.

I can see terrorist groups trying to blame one another for this guy.

"An ISIS spokesman stated that, 'This idiot clearly belongs to Hezbollah.'"

If Clark Griswold were a terrorist?
