About 10 pounds of a high-powered explosive disappeared last month from the Twentynine Palms Marine base during an exercise. A San Diego television station reported last week that the 10 pounds of C4, a malleable plastic explosive with a texture like modeling clay, may have been stolen.
C4 is more powerful than TNT but needs a detonator in order to explode. When detonated, one pound of C4 can demolish a vehicle.
U.S. Marines with Company A (Alpha Co.), Combat Engineer School apply and cut out the amount of C4 they need for the live fire range aboard Camp Geiger, N.C., Feb. 9, 2017. This exercise was used so students would get a hands on experience making C4 explosives in the field.

The houses of Bathtub Row have seen many occupants through the years and have many stories to tell, but the name Oppenheimer lends a special aura to one of those houses. It had existed for thirteen years before it became the temporary home for Robert and Kitty Oppenheimer, their young son, Peter, and daughter, Toni, who was born during World War II.
