Three grams of explosive on a custom board, that they can detonate at will.
Kinda terrifying actually.
This is a wild new form of terrorist attack.
I can’t think of any other time consumer goods were sabotaged in a mass fatality attack like this.
Now I’m just a tiny bit afraid my phone is about to explode in my face.
Is it a Galaxy Note 7?
Galaxy C4.
I feel like this should unironically be a war crime. The potential for collateral is ridiculously high.
Edit: I’m amazed at how successfully this is being spun as a highly-targeted, high-precision attack with no collateral when it’s pretty much the opposite. You can’t control what they do with the pagers after they get them. Ffs there were kids killed.
Imagine if one of those pagers had been on a plane…
An ounce of high explosive won’t take down a plane. Even at cruising altitude.
I dunno, did you see the picture of what happened to the pager that was on the table? I could see that going through a few mm of aluminium.
Why would someone be holding their pager against the wall of a plane?
If you’re sitting in a window seat your pocket is pretty much against the hull.
