Two men told police they were experimenting with making explosives after watching a how-to on YouTube when their attempt exploded on a Bayonne fire escape yesterday afternoon, WPIX reported last night. Christopher Ziobro, 21, and Ghaias Mirza, 18, were being questioned in the 33rd Street incident in which no one was injured, the television report said.
A man who lives in the apartment directly below told the station there were two loud blasts and milk containers were involved.

Yes, those are recognized as typical last words by the Darwin Effect folks, although it is usually:
"Hey, hold my beer - watch this!"
If it were muslims.. goats would have been involved.
Mirza is an Iranian or Turkish name, both Muslim countries
Sometimes acetylene in a balloon will go off just by static electricity. Not smart to play with that stuff. It doesn’t take much to lose eyes, eardrums or fingers. I have a big tank of acet and it is used for welding, heating and cutting only.
The Works and foil is a very bad idea. So you get a bang. It sprays Hydrochloric acid all over. Breathe the fumes/vapor and you won’t like the result. It will eat up whatever it lands on.
Equally unlikely that a right wing WASP would be name Ziobro or Mirza.
There should be a corollary to that. Never ascribe good intentions to muslims if an evil intent could also be involved.
Well, I wouldn’t suggest standing around really close to such a percolating concoction. That’s for sure. surprised nobody mentioned iodine and ammonia speaking of things you shouldn’t probably mix together.
Hmmm...
Iodine and Ammonia
Nitrogen triiodide
I made the stuff in HS
The error was in letting it dry out in my bedroom
ziobro is polish
Mirza Name MeaningMuslim (Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan): from a personal name based on the Persian honorific title Mirza, a shortened form of mir-zadeh ‘child of a prince’.
It is actually persian
Good point about the static electricity. I think the humid air there might have kept that from happening. Enough pressure will also set the stuff off, as I’m sure you know too.
As I learn a bit more over the years, there are lots of things I won’t mess with these days. It’s a wonder that any of the gang from then survived (mostly) unscathed.
at least you didn’t mix nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and glycerine...at room temperature. oops.
Check post 45 before you do. I should have mentioned static electricity myself, but USMCPOP was good enough to do that.
However, Paper and high molarity Nitric acid / Sulfuric Acid...
To the good old days.
persia is Iran . Muslims counqured persia since the 7th century .
So does the SWAT Team that will show up for the party a few minutes after the BOOM...
A guy I used to know used to make hydrogen in a glass cranberry juice jug from a simple reaction of common household materials. He would fill up balloons, tie a greased string to it, light the string, and let it go.
Then he found a bottle of helium... made up “2 ballooners”... one for lift tied to the other with a mix of oxygen and acetylene. The explosion flash from the oxy-acetylene mix was “quite violent”. He could time the flash to the sound (like one does with thunder)... and judging from the angle, some of these things were 2 miles away and about 4000’ up. I often wondered if any stargazers saw the odd flicker of the greased string and were watching and then all the sudden BOOOOOM!!! The horror.
Once, he filled a 2 liter bottle with the oxy-acetlene mix... and set it off in the shop with a lit rag on the end of a broomstick. My advice... don’t do it unless you want to lose an eyeball.
These days, though... if you did anything of these sorts, you would be undoubtedly be cornered in a boat under a tarp by a lot of scary men in body armor shooting hollow point bullets at you or using those scary assault style firearms with their scary 30 round magazines, then “detained”, you know... using “The Public Safety Exception”... and eventually sent to Gitmo... which I thought 0bama was supposed to close.
