unbreak the link by going
here and at the bottom of the page , the third reference is a link to the page I was speaking of.
Yes, indeed it is an exotic replacing a mundane answer to how there was an explosion in the lower levels as the plane hit. Yes, indeed it is par for the course for CT's.
My question is whether or not this particular 'bomb' would even explode(aside from the small amounts of conventional explosive used as detonators).
I don't think it would since I can find no reference for aluminum silicate as even being flammable let alone explosive. It would seem to be already oxidized and thus no surprise that it isn't.
Also what about 'baking' N2O4. This would seem at first glance by my long forgotton high school chemistry , to be a very good oxidizer and it would seem to me that heating it would be a very bad idea. One would especially have to be wary of the material the container was made of. Wouldn't one?
