Most explosives are relatively safe if handled properly, I doubt those buckets were made of steel, some explosives can be pounded with a hammer and nothing will happen cordite is one, dynamite is another, both contain Nitro Glycerine which will exlode if you wink at it, but once mixed with other substances becomes quite tame. |
