the plate on the vehicle does not match the car. the plate belongs to someone. when was it lost? who did the vehicle belong to? there is vin numbers. and as well as different images of the car z even auto crime unit can determine who that car belongs to. was the car put together somewhere else? who belongs to parts of the car? and when is that car stolen? it may tie back to the person and pep who may have been responsible. and we re . we may be closing in on that. we re hearing fbi is on the scene and that they re working hand in hand to try to gjer
this is amateurish? by your description this could have caused devastation. that doesn t mean it was well constructed. anybody who spent time studying how to make bombs or the effect of them never would have constructed it in this way. left a lot to chance. black powder from fireworks hoping it would blow up some gasoline which, in turn, would ignite propane. that s just not going to work. but something worked. there was smoking. yeah. there was smoking. but this person obviously thought the bomb was going to go off. if he or she left a fingerprint inside the vehicle that s an incredibly stupid mistake to make. i think it s made by someone who dramatically overestimated the level of success they would achieve with this. i think jack has hit it on the head. this is not the bomb that succeeds often. we ll see what kind of information they have from fingerprints, vin numbers and the like. thank you so much, gentlemen. thank you.
