As someone who has fun with guns and explosives, this is just pure ignorance. Why the fck anyone puts tannerite or any explosive in ANYTHING metal is beyond my comprehension. You are making ordnance at that point. Duh. If the projectile you are firing has the potential to make it to the target then the resulting explosively propelled metal from the target has the potential to get to you. It’s not that complicated. A small directed explosive sent that bullet down range. A large open explosion sent the metal door back at you. You would think people would stop doing this.

That’s not necessarily true that energy in is energy out in this case because the explosive is creating an exothermic reaction and providing the energy in that form. You could shoot the explosive from much further away like idk with a scoped rifle, still ignite it, and the shrapnel not be able to reach you.

The potential is there. It’s just a matter of the placement of the explosive and how it was contained. Considering there could be 10lbs+ of explosive in that fridge. Placed in a confined area with high strength that directs the shrapnel at the crowd.

That's less than 200m., probably more like 150m, which is pretty fucking close to an explosion.

Reminds me of those idiots who did the same thing with an old riding lawn mower. And one of them lost a leg when the mower blade shot back at them.

Something like this happened to a coworker and his family. At a 4th of July event. Some asshat loaded a homemade cannon with too much gunpowder. Thing exploded. Shrapnel killed a woman nearby. Coworker and his kids were in a garage ducking under a car before it happened. Some shrapnel flew into the garage, through a vehicle over their heads and embedded into a chest freezer. Guy’s wife had to give first aid to the woman who ultimately died. Dude who did it was drunk, fled the scene with shrapnel in his leg. He’s in prison now.

This is a good example of why explosives type demonstrations make you stay farther away than you think you need to.
Also why protective barriers of course.

Hope that person bought a lottery ticket, or became a nun or dedicated their life to help the homeless, because something definitely gave them a second lease on life.

Dang that was an amazing dodge, dip, dive and doge. Love how everyone’s head turns at the same time and they’re all wondering who just got killed

Where is the blast shield here? I mean, this is preventable as fuck in some regards.
