Calling BS on the details in the article!

No way a CAR would be able to carry 6,000 pounds of chlorine, C4 and other items.

From the original source - quote - snippet:

“”The car was loaded with three tons of Chlorine and C4 as well as other chemical materials,” it added.”

Ignoring the math for the moment, the ingredients are very specific and worth noting here.

Thanks for your feedback octex.

“ing BS on the details in the article!”

So it didn’t happen? It could easily have been 2000 lbs and that would not make it any less deadly. Perhaps it should read “vehicle” - it could have been something more than a car. On the other hand, not possible to fit a dozen college kids inside a phone booth, not possible to get a who frat house full of kids inside a VW beatle... :)

Happened all the time in Iraq. The clowns would simply limit the suspension by welding rebar to the springs, for instance. Of course, these vehicles are really hard to drive for any distance.
