Were Smoke Jumpers trained as blasters perhaps?

The question would be as to how easy was dynamite to purchase in that period?
where would red dynamite be purchased?

"Jumpers are also used for a variety of other jobs depending on their individual skills including, tree climbing, blasting and prescribed fire. "

So Smoke Jumpers might know how to make a convincing looking fake bomb... or a real one.

Word has it that Rackstraw had a lot of dynamite for sale.

This solo BASE jumping is too tame. Let's liven it up with some multi jumper sequential exits. What can possibly go wrong?

I am with Shutter. I think the bomb was fake. Just a hunch, cannot prove it. The red color of the sticks makes me think fake.

Rackstraw was such a friggin sociopath that had he been Cooper, that 727 might have become widely scattered wreckage from an explosion at 10,000 ft. Bye bye witnesses. Bye bye physical evidence.

lol, I could see him using old dynamite. it doesn't have a long shelf life. you have to rotate it while in storage.

If Rackstraw were using it, it would be fresh and powerful.

If he were selling, it would be stale old stock likely to fizzle.

You will never get over on a sociopath.

there were plenty of bombs of all sorts in Vietnam.
Someone riding in a helicopter could have picked up all sorts of ordnance remnants about the helicopter, or other aircraft ridden.

Is it possible to test the tie for Agent Orange?

The "bomb" on Cooper's lap didn't explode. Why not look for places where bombs did explode? Or there were more of them.

I've been inclined to believe the bomb was a fake, but the best match I found to a significant number of particles found on the 305 tie match an ignition device. If anyone has any other interpretations I am happy to be wrong. Really, I am. What do you think about the Magnesium/Palladium?

as far as I know the military didn't like dynamite. short shelf life and unstable after time. the Nitroglycerin starts to seep back out.

I really wish I knew what the note in the Wagner yearbook about "best bomb scare ever" next to Sheridan and the students picture, was about.

If I ever talk to Sheridan, I'd be curious to find out what the inside joke was about.

Can't even picture one.

They did have "military dynamite"?

"Military dynamite" is a dynamite substitute, formulated without nitroglycerin. It contains 75% RDX, 15% TNT, 5% SAE 10 motor oil, and 5% cornstarch, but is much safer to store and handle for long periods than Nobel's dynamite.[14] Military dynamite substitutes much more stable chemicals for nitroglycerin.

Question,,,

In this KOIN news clip start 2:09 at 2:13 black bills are shown with the date February 13, 1980.



You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

"Several potential natural sources for the silver coating were examined, but in casual conversation, a law enforcement officer mentioned that silver nitrate that was used in the early 70's to detect fingerprints. This treatment had the negative side effect of eventually turning the evidence black. Commercially available nitrate test strips were employed and the results were clearly positive. Further examination of the news photos from 1971 did not show any black bills."

QUESTION, was the video edited and the segment with the black bills inserted in between two pieces of 1980 footage? If so, what date were those bills recorded and there about 5 black bills. Any other matching images..

I have wondered if Sheridan really was exposed to a lot of Agent Orange. But nearly everytime something he claims sounds exaggerated, it turns out to be true.

what bills from 1971?

1980 the FBI had all of the bills. Ingrams didn't get them until years later.
