True, but have you ever SEEN a flour explosion?
Sugar, flower and dust explosions can bring down a silo complex.

I bet it was the work of one of the cells of the notorious terrorist group

There's a technical word that firefighters use to describe it, but for the life of me, I can't remember it. Fuel-Air explosive. Dust explosion.
The army taught me how to make a "dust initiator" explosive. A ten pound bag of flour can demolish a gymnasium.
Such devices work in large confined areas, but not so well in small places.

What is “Liberty Bell Center?” It's where the Liberty bell is displayed.

Suspicious white powder?
Was Calderon there earlier today? Or maybe he was there with his America-bashing pal Barry?

Philadelphia police said a blue, balloon-like canister with a white powder substance is being investigated on Independence Mall.It occurs to me that they could greatly expedite this investigation by putting out a picture of the thing to the media. It's probably some innocent object that many people would recognize if they saw it.

True, but have you ever SEEN a flour explosion? Some times we'd take a small baf of flour and tie it around a grenade simulator.
Used at night, it would make a loud 'bang!' and an even bigger 'flash!'

NO
I have seen pictures of silos in rubble.
I have seen the craters of hundreds of 500 pound bombs. One night we had 5-7 B52’s unload 2000 yards away.
