Harrisburg local radio has had sketchy reports of this all day, but never seemed to make anything very clear. One of the last reports said the thing exploded when hit with the stream sprayed by the bomb squad's high pressure water hose, but it wasn't clear if there were explosives present or not. I remain puzzled, because I am not familiar with non-explosive things blowing up when hit with water.

The force from the water probably set off a pressure-sensitive explosive inside the thermos.

The force of those water cannons make it look like it blowed up real good.
