Bro Brought 3 Homemade Bombs to the FBI 🤯
A narrator recounts acquiring three sticks of unstable, sweating dynamite along with a silencer and drugs during what appears to be an undercover or criminal operation. After realizing the dynamite was leaking nitroglycerin and absorbing through their skin, they drove to the FBI office to hand it over. The story ends with the narrator casually informing an FBI agent that there was a small bomb in the parking lot.
Summary
The narrator describes a chaotic sequence of events beginning with a contact offering them dynamite, complete with a mechanical egg timer and a double-A battery pack detonator. The source enthusiastically vouched for the egg timer's reliability as a triggering device. During the same transaction, the narrator's associate Mike tested and purchased a functional silencer, and they also acquired a quarter kilogram of drugs and a Jaguar, with the group feeling emboldened by their haul.
After the exchange, the narrator called an explosives expert to describe the dynamite, noting it appeared to be sweating and wet — classic signs of unstabilized or degrading dynamite leaking nitroglycerin. The expert immediately warned them not to touch it, which came too late, as both the narrator and a companion named Gooner had already handled the sticks. Gooner identified the substance as nitroglycerin and explained it had been absorbed through their skin, causing the headaches they were experiencing while driving.
The group then drove to the FBI office, where their explosives contact met them and took possession of the dynamite in the parking lot. When the narrator went upstairs to inform an FBI agent, the agent was visibly alarmed to learn there was a bomb in the parking lot. The narrator downplayed it, describing it as 'a little one' consisting of only three sticks of dynamite and a cap, illustrating the narrator's casual and reckless attitude throughout the entire ordeal.
Key Insights
- The contact provided a pre-assembled mechanical egg timer with a double-A battery pack as a detonator, personally vouching that egg timers 'never fail' as bomb triggers.
- Mike purchased a silencer that was tested on-site by firing a round into a mattress, confirming it functioned effectively — demonstrating the transaction involved multiple illegal items beyond just the explosives.
- The explosives expert warned the narrator not to touch the sweating dynamite, but the warning came too late — both the narrator and Gooner had already handled it and were absorbing nitroglycerin through their skin.
- Gooner identified the headaches they developed while driving as a direct symptom of nitroglycerin absorption through their fingers and hands from touching the leaking dynamite.
- When notifying an FBI agent about the bomb in the parking lot, the narrator framed three sticks of dynamite with a detonator cap as a minor, unremarkable situation, saying 'it's a little one.'
