WARNING: Burned skin, lost fingers resulting from home made bottle bombs being left in front yards

By
Mortgage and Lending with Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation Nevin NMLS #69651

This is not a joke-video below.  When Drano, tin foil and water are put in a bottle it creates a lethal home made bomb. Someone is making these and leaving them on front yards or mailboxes expecting someone to pick them up. 

About 30 seconds after being moved the items in the bottle mix causing the ingredients to boil and the gases to expand. Cuts, burns to the skin and loss of extremities are the likely result of picking one up and carrying it.

Warn everyone you know to be wary of picking up containers on their yard or in their mailbox.  Read the Sherrifs report on Snopes.com

Thanks for the warning Nevin. I have heard about these and they are certainly nasty and can cause great bodily harm.

Nevin ~  Very scary!  What if a kid was just playing and picked it up?  You asked what are people thinking?  Crazy thoughts I am sure!
