The Port of Seattle Bomb Squad was called in to help earlier in the week after a man found a homemade explosive device at his house.
It could have easily caused serious injury and when it was detonated by the bomb squad, the results were explosive."It’s definitely going to probably take off your hand and part of your arm," said Sgt. Jason Coke with Port of Seattle Police bomb squad.The powerful homemade explosive was found by a man when he returned to his home.
The bomb squad handles around 50 calls every year for homemade explosives."These are all inert examples of what we come across in the Pacific Northwest," said Coke, pointing to a number of inactive training devices.‘Crickets,’ made out of tiny CO2 canisters, are very common."This is a homemade explosive device that can cause significant injuries," said Coke.Pipe bombs and replica grenades, filled with explosives at home, are also frequently found.
