They Put 100 Pounds of C4 in a Trunk 😳
A speaker recounts a massive car bombing targeting their motorcycle club's clubhouse on Grand Avenue in Chicago. The bomb, reportedly containing 100 pounds of C4, caused a massive explosion that left a 5-6 foot crater and scattered debris a mile away. The speaker claims it was the third largest bomb detonated in the United States.
Summary
The speaker describes a targeted bombing attack on their motorcycle club's clubhouse located on Grand Avenue, a busy street in Chicago. Attackers loaded what is described as 100 pounds of C4 explosive into the trunk of a car, drove it up against the clubhouse door, and strategically parked it to block any escape routes. A getaway car then picked up the perpetrators, who were Outlaws motorcycle club members according to the speaker's account.
The explosion was catastrophic in scale. The detonating vehicle was blown completely down the block, left a crater 5-6 feet deep in the sidewalk, and the car's VIN number was found a mile away from the blast site. The speaker emphasizes that by sheer luck, no one was inside the clubhouse at the time, and no one was killed or injured despite the attack occurring on a busy street.
The speaker places the incident in historical context, claiming it was the third largest bomb ever detonated in the United States, ranking behind the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the 1993 World Trade Center basement bombing. This claim underscores the enormous scale of the explosion and the severity of the attack.
