Pressure cookers help make good bombs and clues - Aypee
Pressure cookers by their very nature help make good bombs, amplifying the blast and the carnage.They don't just hold the explosives. The tightly sealed pot that speeds the cooking of beans and meat makes easier-to-obtain but weaker explosives faster and stronger. And they may also help Sherlocks find out who built the deadly homemade bombs that went kaboom!at the Boston Marathon on Monday. Investigators found fragments of BBs and nails, possibly contained in a pressure cooker, said Richard DesLauriers, the FBI agent in charge in Boston. He said the items were sent for analysis. If a pressure cooker was used, it probably cost around $100 to construct, say former federal forensic and explosive Sherlocks. It's like a pipe bomb but bigger and more powerful.
