Austin, TX package bombs

[PGRChaplain]

I caught the last of a News story that stated this may be a result of the Unabomber TV Special that just aired. Just Google "Bomb Making".........

2nd package, different facility. I guess Chief McManus didn't get the memo.

Hours after the explosion, police sent a bomb squad to a FedEx facility outside Austin's main airport to check on a suspicious package that was reported shortly before sunrise.

Investigators also closed off an Austin-area FedEx store where they believe the bomb that exploded was shipped to the distribution center. Authorities roped off a large area around the shopping center in the enclave of Sunset Valley.

Is that the 7th bomb already?

I believe it's the 6th that's exploded. The 2nd FedEx package hasn't been verified to be a bomb. It's just suspicious, at this point.

I think this is the 5th. You had two at houses, one on a trail, one at FedEx, and this new one

The first explosion unfolded on March 2, killing 39-year-old Anthony Stephan House after a "device" exploded on the front porch of his Austin home. The blast was investigated initially as a suspicious death, and later as a homicide.
Ten days later, a similar incident was reported just 12 miles from House's home. A 17-year-old, identified as Draylen Mason, was killed and his mother was injured after a package exploded inside their home.
Hours after the second explosion occurred, police reported a third blast, confirming that at least one elderly woman was injured.
The night of March 18, around 8:30 p.m., a fourth explosion -- possibly triggered by a trip wire -- occurred. Two men in their 20s suffered non-life threatening injuries in the blast, including one who had nails in his leg, according to KVUE-TV.

Another device exploded early March 20 at a FedEx ground distribution facility in Schertz, Texas, injuring one person.

There's word going around that the person(s) may have been seen by a camera.

With as many people that have those "Ring" doorbells or just good old-fashioned cameras at their homes, I can't see the responsible party getting away totally unseen!

Just in on Fox News, most recent at a Goodwill (in the donation bin.) Possible UXO at same Goodwill.

It wasn't a bomb, it was an incendiary device at the Goodwill. I'm sure the guy in the hospital feels much better about that.

Unexploded ordinance?

i heard it was some incidiary device.

FedEx will keep its NRA discount - Feb. 26, 2018

just wondering if the two are connected

UXO??

Nothing like cordoning off UXOs at MOPP 4

Thanks! That TOTALLY clears it up!

Mission Oriented Protective Posture 4. Full chemical warfare gear, gas mask, gloves, rubber boots. Type MOPP 4 into a search engine.

Post attack assessment/Base Recovery After Attack Team (BRAAT). Venture out carefully looking for unexploded ordnance, damage to buildings and equipment, presence of chemical agents. For UXO we'd evacuate buildings within a certain distance and do our best to identify the type of bomb/missile/rocket/mortar/etc.

****, they think the incendiaries and the bombs are the same guy.

Well, I'd have to wait to see.
If it was, it kind of reinforces the violent anti-gunner stereotype.
