” 60 Liters of gas in the bomb. SIXTY “

About 15 gallons, or three jerry-cans...

That’s quite a bit, certainly, but more of a big fire than a ‘massive explosion’...

If there were indeed propane cannisters there, I’d imagine they were the primary device.....

The weapons would have been the nails in the car. Israel has had to deal with too many of them.

15 gallons- obviously not intended to blow up London- but loaded with nails it would have killed and maimed many people.

15 gallons ignited inside a car is a big fire

15 gallons blasted over a wide area by a regular explosive, and then ignited by the blast, would be a really big incendiary that would kill lots of people. If they really did it right, it might approach the effects of a fuel-air bomb
