Updated: 15:47, Sunday July 01, 2007 Police have carried out a controlled explosion at the hospital where one of the alleged car bombers is being treated.
A suspect car was blown up by police in the car park of the Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, Sky News correspondent Rona Dougall said.

I recently watched a show on TV called ‘Future Weapons’ which features new weapons of variuos designs.
One of the weapons featured which is manufactured in Britian is a specially shaped water can similar in SIZE to a WWII Jerry (gas) can. This plastic device is filled with water and directs a stream of water when detonated which rips apart anything near it including artillery shells and other explosives without them off.
On this particular show, it was shown being used on a car which had a few artillery shells (IED’s)in the trunk.
The explosion ripped apart the rear of the car and sent the projectiles a considerable distance away. In the process of detonation, the ‘explosion’ rips apart any wiring and controllers which may be used to detonate the IEDs. Since the ‘explosiion’ is mainly a focused water jet, it doesn’t set off any other explosive material which it may be used against.

The Brits were very clever when the designed the “dambuster” bomb in WWII.
Their experiments showed that instead of attacking the reinforced concrete of a dam directly, it was more efficient to have the bomb hit the water side of the dam and then sink.
When the device detonated the massive amount of water behind the bomb/dam would focus the explosion against the concrete. The efficiency was increased many fold versus an explosion in the air.
Things are constantly becoming worse. It is where the world exists. Will the strong survive? Tune in next week or maybe even five to 10 or as few as 15 years down the path, and we shall see, if we shall see to live so long.....
but maybe miracles happen.
Any confirmation?

Exactly correct.
Thank you for giving me a good laugh; I really needed it this morning.

Fascinating Analysis of Leftist Goals, August 13, 2006
Reviewer: N. Sincerity - See all my reviews
A former 1960s radical, Horowitz is well-acquainted with the Leftist mindset. In this book, he strives to explain the modern alliance between left wing progressivists and radical Islamofascists. He argues that this alliance is based on a common desire to destroy Western capitalism. Leftist sympathy with Islamofascist ideas makes no sense from an intellectual point of view, given that countries ruled by radical Islamists are among the most racist, sexist, theocratic states in the world today. However, Leftists have recognized that they can benefit politically from destructive terrorist attacks on the Western world. A West under attack can be made to turn on its leaders in fear and desperation (as they did in Spain after the Madrid train bombings). Only once people reject current government structures can the Left execute its anti-capitalist revolution and build a new reality that mirrors the Leftist view of utopia.
The complete and utter idealogical hypocrisy of the Islamofascist-Leftist alliance is distressing, but as Horowitz reminds us,

Looks like more dogs, vehicle searches and more Air Marshals on US/UK flights.
Some have proclaimed the UK attacks as “low tech” because of the use of propane and gasoline. This low tech approach does circumvent the use of “bomb sniffing” dogs and handheld devices.
Lends credence that the latest UK attacks are intended for high volume public areas.
Traditional detection systems may not detect these fuel devices situated in public areas.
The bad guys may be crazy like a fox.........
I don't think so MizSterious.
Michael McRanor says he took this picture of one of the men being arrested at the scene.
Mr Grey says this picture shows police surrounding one of the men involved in the incident who had apparently been on fire.
If you load up a car with gasoline and then try to blow it up, it causes a fireball. It's not the kind of blast that's going to propell shrapnel, so why are they loading the cars up with screws and nails? In fact, unless you've got just the right mix of gas and air, there's a decent chance that it's not going to ignite at all.
A waste of perfectly good gasoline if you ask me.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
Only by the mercy of God no innocent people were injured or killed regardless of how low grade the potential murderous morons are.
Multiple escharotomy and debridement sans anesthesia should do the trick.
To “control” an explosion, you first detonate the explosive, then, watching the explosion closely, when it has exploded the amount you want, you stop it.
Treatment for burns can be incredibly painful. Just hold the morphine!
I heard on the TV news today that the Brit cops are going to start profiling people today, looking for “Asians” who are in this latest Jihadist group.
Better late than never.
CNN Breaking News: Heathrow terminal 3 closed over suspicious package.
I don’t understand what you’re getting at. One guy was taken to the hospital with severe burns. That is the guy they found the “device” on, according to ALL the reports I’ve read. If you know something that’s different, please explain.
