Sure, but it might explode near people

you realize they exploded, right? potentially as someone's child was nearby. or playing with it. or in the middle of a grocery story.

I doubt it exploded at full efficiency.

A small explosion might be good enough?

More than 70% drop in less than a year is not an explosion ?

Significantly more severe than the rocket blowing up?

Doesn't explain the explosion beforehand.

Can you describe that? I’m not sure what you’re referring to. Bombs I assume, detonated where?

The blast was far safer than you believe.
