Plot holes in the bomb plot In the version I heard about he tried to set fire to plastic explosive with a match which seems to match this article That could never possibly work in a million years You need detonators for high explosive If it was possible one wonders why he didn t go to the toilet where he would have privacy if the first match didn t work Yes there are smoke detectors but the door can be jammed easily enough There s a fundamental problem of credibility that this article and the origonal news coverage never goes into Does anyone have any credible sources on the likelihood of this being even remotely possible
