Possibly a road flare that accidentally ignited.
Explosions are outdoors

I don't think it's terrorism because mass casualities aren't happening. It's not terrorist MO to just play games to get people on edge and lead police on wild goose chases. When they attack it's to instill fear by way of killing people. They DGAF about being caught.
Because of that I don't see this being terrorism.

Doesn't terrorism include causing fear. Might not be a mass casualty system, but the fear of the residents is palpable I imagine
What class at FLW? Sapper School, EOCA, C-IED, or something else?maverick2076 said:Naveronski said:NW80 said:Aggie12B said:I'm not trying to scare anybody, but there are s***-tons of materials that can be used to make an IED that are easily available to the publicSteveBott said:
Only thing I've seen is they said all the material used were easily available to the public.
Probably peroxide based.
From what I remember in class, TATP is pretty unstable. Maybe this problem will self solve?
I'm in a class at FLW, and this was one of our subjects today.
Terrorism involves pushing some sort of agenda. I could very easily be wrong, but I doubt a "terrorist cell" would coordinate these attacks without claiming victory for them.
Very true. If it was someone trying to push an agenda you would think they would have come out to tell us what that agenda would be.
Purely speculation here, but I still think it's a single person. The mail bombs were dropped off at a place very close to that trip wire bomb (probably on the same day), and the other bombs were spaced out enough to not make me think it's multiple people. It is concerning that this person seems to be escalating, though.

How long between when Kazinsky started mailing bombs and his manifesto getting released?
Wow. I say I believe it's him.
That's some detailed info on the AMA
That's creepy detail.
Hard to believe he'd post on Reddit but also hard to believe someone would make up that much detail.
I don't know what to think of that.
And one thing is for sure...It'll be interesting how they approach apprehending him once he's identified. Knowing how well he can make explosives and IEDs it's going to be a highly calculated operation.

The mods on Reddit deleted all his posts but that is just one person taking action. Take it all with a huge grain of salt
Took care of this guy too.
Don't want to sound like a crazy person but I'm standing in my back yard right now and can see what looks like 3 drones flying around doing surveillance. One is close by and two in the distance flying in a repetitive pattern maybe about a 1-2 mile circles. If I had a better camera I would take a pic worth a darn. Light at the bottom left quadrant is the house across the green belt. Light in the center flashes green and red and has been doing the same flight pattern over and over again. Maybe 1-2 miles in diameter. There are 2 more further away doing the same thing. When it gets close enough I can hear it flying around. Live up in round rock off 1431 and Sam bass

Roughly 17 years.
It's from the bomb threat in downtown Pflugerville. I live in Pflugerville and the noise overhead is annoying.
Ive poked and prodded suspected IEDs. Still have all my fingers and toes. Its the one I didn't we didn't see that got us.metrag06 said:Uh.... I've only taken the IED Awareness course but I'm pretty sure that's what they taught us NOT to do...Quote:
After much poking and prodding, it was determined to be a non-incendiary diaper pail.
Sorry folks are having to deal with this - hopefully the perp is caught or stopped soon.
In all seriousness, definitely not the smart way to go. Hope this sicko is caught and burned alive.
Reporting that the bomber killed himself when police were closing in.

I-35 is shut down while law enforcement processes the scene, which includes Austin police, FBI, and ATF investigators, with the closure expected to last up to six hours.

The suspect had been previously identified with help from surveillance video obtained from the FedEx Office store on Brodie Lane in south Austin.
Watching the Lone Star Law episode where someone calls in and reports poachers. All they have to go on is an arrow. Warden walks into the sporting goods store, they scan the serial number he walks out with an ID, video of the purchaser, and video of them getting in their truck. Amazing what they can do so quickly nowadays.
Glad he's dead without further loss of life.
But 24 yr old?
Young. Too early to speculate what he was in terms of politics but I'm guessing this was his perverse way of political activism.

Yeah, 24 years old?
Was pretty surprised to hear that.
My instinct was telling me this was probably someone 38-50 y/o.
Interesting

Southbound I-35 is likely to be shut down until 9 am. Northbound is open, but I bet the rubber-necking will be insane.
Plan accordingly if you are going that way.

If anyone sees anything about them releasing a name or a name being leaked, post it here and let the OB do its thing before all the sites start taking anything of his down.
Its not that I don't trust the FBI, but ..... well never mind.

Good job all of the LEOs involved in this. Case solved, suspect dead.
His name needs to be forgotten. No more publicity for crap like this. Stop making them famous.
Guy killed himself in explosion
Welp....that's that.
No idea. Could tell you in 10 seconds from the plate number on that truck though.Irish_Man said:Stat Monitor Repairman said:

It's somewhere in the Pflugerville area supposedly. Trying to figure out who has cops in their neighborhood right now.
