| Controlled Detonation of Second Bomb in Dallas Suburb |
| 2012-06-19 |
| Plano police and FBI agents spent much of the night searching a home linked to a man accused of detonating a bomb beside a neighborhood gas main. Authorities sealed off a neighborhood around Anchor Drive, about two miles from the gas main, on Monday evening and kept searching and seizing property from the house until about 4 this morning. A handful of neighbors were asked to leave their homes as a precaution. One neighbor told WFAA-TV (Channel 8) that the man who lives at the home is Taiwanese and in his 20s (police described the suspect as an Asian man in his 20s or 30s). “He’s always walking through, just barefoot or sandals, carrying a backpack,” Mark Perez said. At one point, the police bomb squad removed a suspicious device from the home and took it to rural Kaufman County near Combine. Once there, a backhoe dug a hole and the device was placed inside and detonated shortly before 3:30 a.m. Police say the suspect was injured early Monday while tampering with an above-ground gas main in the 3600 block of West Parker Road. They believe he was carrying a bomb that went off, causing minor damage to the main and critical injuries to the suspect. He remains hospitalized in bad shape at the Medical Center of Plano. Police are hoping to interview him once he recovers enough for questioning. |

| #1 There is a curious compulsion about releasing huge amounts of pent-up energy by applying just a little energy in just the right place. In Guns of Navarone, it was an ammo magazine which, in the movie, went up like a volcano. In Return to Navarone, it was a huge dam which released an ocean of water in slow motion, with slabs bursting in all directions. It's a staple of a lot of action flicks. An audience pleaser. Stands to reason some clown would try it in real life. |
