Long Island blast being investigated by cops, FBI over concerns it could be prelude to something else.
Fox News ^ | Louis Casiano

Authorities in New York's Long Island are investigating a blast that left a crater and was felt miles away Sunday. Police are working with the FBI on the probe, to determine whether it could have been a prelude to something bigger. The Suffolk County Police Department said the explosion occurred on Fox Island, off the coast of West Babylon, around 11:40 a.m. when a device was detonated. Authorities received nearly three dozen 911 calls, the department told Fox News.

I am starting to think the Kennedy assassination is itself a big FBI cover up à la TWA800, Murat bombing and Mandalay massacre.

Now you're getting it.

My cousin and I found an old crate of TNT, with 10 sticks left in it, sweating nitroglycerine, at Grandpa’s work shed, and we gingerly carried it to the back field, and used a 30.06 to blow it up. Took 3 shots; was the biggest explosion I’d ever heard or seen.

Police and fire depts showed-up, and gave us hell. We had to pay for a lot of blown-out/cracked farmhouse windows at nearby farms. I couldn’t hear squat for 2 days. It was fun, though.

Loose sandy beach soil without much consistency - explosive force much less than one would imagine. Looks like the explosive was buried before detonation for better effect. Some cherry bombs or M1 fireworks perhaps.

hood ...found 1/4 mile away ... where did the glass go? It sounds very dangerous for being classified as a prank. It goes without saying then, that lucky no one was hurt?

I had a boss and he told stories that even in the 1960’s you could get TNT at the hardware store.

I was on a project in 2010(?) where we had a bunch of excess explosives. We bundled it up on the remote Alaskan beach to blow it up and dispose of it (about the size of a 5-gallon bucket). It was loud, but I was surprised at the lack of damage to the rocky beach.

Wow ... is about all I can say at the moment.

Behind tree shooter ... lucky. What about schrapnel?

And the ricochet buddies behind the shooter did not express how lucky they were themselves.

You might want to think bigger.

Looks like low tide there and beach/sea bottom sandy soils, easily blown-up, but it’d take more than a Cherry Bomb or M80 to make that kind of crater. If it was a old, dead, waterlogged stump, it would have have no real roots left, and a simple tractor could have dug or pulled it out.

It was in the middle of a large farm, and was contained on the owner’s property. The boys who detonated it were well away from it when it exploded. They clearly didn’t foresee the strength of the blast. The glass went back from whence it came - sand.

“That is amazing! What was that? An outhouse?”

A refrigerator.
That was the door blowing by the guy and tree. Lucky guy. Lucky the door didn’t smack him in the face.

"No harm then?"

Not much, other than the aftermath of the 'discussion' the boy had when his dad returned from vacation. It started with.."Dad? There's something we need to talk about...."

My co-worker and I made an acetylene cannon once.
Put a tennis ball in it.
After we figured out the best way to ignite it (arc welding stick at a hole near the bottom) the thing went off with a ten foot flame shooting out the front.
Tennis ball landed on top of a 5 story building about 600 feet away

When I was a kid there was still a lot of personal small mining going on in our area. You could still just go to the hardware store and buy TNT with a permit for mining use. Never used it myself but got the opportunity to be around quite a bit of TNT use as a kid.
