And this is why things get banned....

[sirhrmechanic]

Because stupid people do stupid things!!!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/04/23/gender-reveal-explosion-new-hampshire-tannerite/

Yes 80 lbs of tannerite in a built-up area. For a gender reveal.

What did these morons “think” was going to Happen?

Reactive targets are fun and can make competitions a hoot. And if people keep doing this crap, they will be banned with everything else the commies get their knickers in a twist over.

Common sense... an uncommon trait I guess...

Sirhr

PS. Betting the cracked foundations were already cracked, but now folks can sue to get repaired free. Though granite bedrock NH might transmit shockwaves pretty well!

My daughter's gender-reveal party was when we broke open cupcakes to see the blue filling inside to learn our first grandchild (a boy) was on the way. That was less exciting than blowing up the neighborhood ... but exciting enough for me.

No, things get banned because of an overreaching government. Stupid people just happen to hasten this along because Karens can see it on CNN, and write their representatives to save the children.

Blame the idiot not the Tannerite.

And they can do it because they and we have disregarded our rights long ago.

 

[rjacobs]

80lbs... WTF...

My buddy(who has some type of explosives license for commercial fireworks and probably other stuff) used 50lbs a few years ago to blow up a car, all the shooters were 300 yards away in the middle of his 400 acres... Pieces of the car were falling behind them LOL... I asked how much he would use next time and he said "oh like 30lbs, maybe only 20 LOL"...

 

[GrumpyOleFart]

80lbs of Tannerite?
What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Gee Kay]

people are just retarded today

 

[johnnyvw]

How about 600 lbs?

^^^ THIS x 1000!

The fact that it was basically in Nashua... which is a suburb of Boston now, is even more stupid. If they had done it up in the North, noone would have noticed. But Nashua is total wokieville. It's where all the snob Boston types live who don't want to live in filthy Boston. Every second person is named Karen. Including a lot of the dudes. And I use that term loosely.

Meh... once upon a time, the stupid would not get into adulthood. Then came bike helmets and airbags and baby seats and guards over all the belts on machines and the stupid could not weed themselves out as fast... Oh well, that time will come again. It always does.

[PinesAndProjectiles]

Can we ban gender reveal parties instead?

 

[Steel+Killer]

Causing a crack in a home’s foundation miles away....I might have to call bull shit on that....sounds like someone wants some existing damage fixed for free.

 

[Jscb1b]

Did they assume the baby's gender?

 

[Beefmanne]

You can’t reveal a baby’s gender, it hasn’t decided yet.

 

[missed]

Well at least they didn't hurt/kill anyone like many have done in these gender reveals and targets over the years. Sounds like they kinda thought it out doing it in the quarry.


80lbs above ground does not have enough energy to crack a slab.

 

[Doc68]

There’s a video of a guy shooting a lawnmower filled with tannerite in FL, well he didn’t take the blade off it and when he shot it it came back at him and took his leg off.

[FS1]

80lbs above ground does not have enough energy to crack a slab.

But it is more than enough to cause a Karen to erupt.

 

[MtnCreek]

Yeah a shot in the ground with plenty of cover might crack a slab a ways off but a small blast on top of ground would not.

Years ago had a few people complain about cracked foundations near a construction project. Per Co requirement residents within a certain distance had to be notified about the blasting. Rain fucked up the site, so blasting was delayed. Did a preblast survey on every structure that someone complained about. This was in a diverse (but not) area. Dumbasses...

 

[Fig]

The policy in my family is to reveal the gender when the package is delivered. I am almost superstitious about it, and cannot bring myself to pray for anything other than a healthy baby. Who cares what gender the baby is? He/She a baby!!!

Somebody watched Mythbusters and how they blew stuff up in the quarry (the cement truck). That said, I don't get the gender reveal party....kinda stupid from my bachelor with no kids perspective. Either one knows via the ultrasound and tell folks or ones asks not to be told and don't look at the scans. Is it not enough to just say "we're expecting a child" anymore?

Social media has kindled the flame of "Hey! Look at me!", which appeals to a large amount of people.

80 lbs, above ground, at a concrete plant. Meaning its likely surrounded by piles of sand/gravel. Rattling windows and maybe knocking a poorly hung picture I could see. Cracking a foundation, not likely. The key line in that report is:

"We are used to dynamite blasts,” said Matt Taglieri, 41. “This was way louder and way more powerful than a dynamite blast. The fact that they did this without giving us any warning, we were livid. We were very upset that they did this."

My read...someone (a busybody who wants say in everything that happens and is put out they werent "notified") who is familiar with the process of contractors stopping by to do a pre-blast survey sees an opportunity to put someone else on the hook for their shitty house foundation.

 

[Milo 2.5]

No shit! Look at me.

 

[BLEE]

Maybe he combined something with the Tannerite, like a big propane/butane bottle, or black powder, hoping to get a bigger bang.

 

[Jgunner]

I could see the cracked slab, if the blast was on top of it, maybe...

I could see a cracked slab if the slab was already cracked and the slab was poured on top of soil that was not prepared and falling away....

Miles away? Gtfo. Fuck i hate the general public

 

[ArchAngel72]

Well idiots be what they be. I do believe YES a few miles away the shockwave from that could have caused some damage.

Personally I blew up a Bronco's hat that I was forced to wear for a month after losing a bet. I used 40 lbs and a homer bucket. I took the handle off.

That thing left a hole in the ground 4 feet across and 1.5 feet deep. Vaporized the homer bucket and all we found of the hat was a few shreds of fabric. Cops did show up about 25 min later. Someone in town complained someone must be touching off propane tanks or something. Well they arrived to find us still shooting targets. But asked a few questions and then told us be safe and went on his way.

I do not think I would ever really go that big again. When I was getting them it was 8lb or 5lb targets and well, yeah those are big enough to have fun with. LOL

 

[TriggerJerk!]

Stupid also causes Karen’s....

Explosion that rocked New Hampshire town was from gender reveal party

The mystery explosion that rocked a southern New Hampshire town turned out to have originated at an over-the-top gender reveal party. Police say they're investigating possible property damage and that there could be charges.

[kcbird]

I call bullshit. This is Karenism at its finest. This is a plant where they regularly blast. The blast went off and Karen called to complain because she wasn't informed by the company they were blasting. She finds out it was an evil over the counter binary target and flips her shit. Gets on facebook, calls the neighbors, calls the news. Then this piece of fine journalism slips in a fucking air plane in Mexico that blew up because of a gender reveal. Come the fuck on guys.

Don't forget FPSRussia a few years back. He almost killed himself blowing up a truck.

 

[Kimber.204]

Gender reveal parties are among the dumbest shit to enter our society

The first time my wife and I were invited to one of these I asked her seriously if one of our friends was getting a sex change. I'd never heard of such a thing. When my wife was pregnant with our son, we told everyone the gender, but we didn't tell anyone the name(s) we were considering. That really pissed off the grandparents....hahaha

If only all the dickwhistles that think gender reveals are cool would eat a bullet the world would be a better place...

22,000 acres, 10 structures, and around $8 million later the party was over.

That.

Also was there any PROVEN damage from this?

I think the party's are cornie...
But...
Any excuse to have fun w family and friends is a solid go from me

 

[Numb_Skull]

If you're a man participating in a gender reveal party the only thing you need is a DNA test to reveal you're not the father because you swallow as much cock as the old lady.
