Very sad. Possibly homemade. I used to cut open 60 or so firecrackers, pour powder into Dixie cup. Take 2" piece of cardboard tube from pants hanger. Seal one end with glue and tissue paper. Pour powder into other end, cram it hard. Seal end with tissue and glue. drill hole in side and put in waterproof wick. These would lift a kid off the ground when put under a trashcan upside down. We blew cinder blocks into pieces, and would seal them in wax and blow up under water. We'd also rig up these with the wicks into model rockets and make nice, loud fireballs in the sky. One of these fireballs landed in dry brush behind someone's house...was the fastest Quarter mile I ever ran to put it out. My only injury was numb hand for an hour when a regular cracker went off in my hand due to a short fuse. Can't do any of this now. It was either this or it must have been an AR-47

I saw on Twitter that CNN - someone speaking on there - said it is indeed a homemade explosive. But what would be triggered by just stepping on it, and why hide it up on the rocks?

Those three guys need to be interviewed very carefully.

I still don’t know if the guy was a victim or if he was involved with this explosive. Maybe they were making them to hurt or scare others, and did a Bill Ayers girlfriend thing.
