I can't remember off the top of my head what chemicals are used but something can be used in molotov cocktails that will cause them to ignite upon the bottle breaking and exposure to air without resorting to a lit wick.

Chemistry was a long time back for me.;0)

Me too (Chemistry was a long time back for me). Boric acid is a fairly benign substance. However, it is primarily used to create boron compounds. There is no evidence that this truck is full of boric acid. I was just responding to Boot Hill's comments that nobody had commented on any use for boric acid that might be dangerous.

That would be phosphorus.

I do remember. No I'm not posting it. No boric acid in that recipe, though...

I had a fried tell me once that if you use simple pool chlorine treatment, like Shok-It, and mix it with antifreeze, it burns with a blue flame. Said he used to put it in separate baby food jars, and duct tape them together. It flames on impact. Never tried it, but I'm sure anybody wanting to build a simple explosive can get most of what he needs at Wal-Mart, anyway.
