FSB: Russian plane bomb planted under passenger seat
2015-11-24
Using chemical and other forensic tests FSB agents narrowed down the “likely” location of the bomb to seats 30A and 31A, according to a report in Life News. And they added the bomb packed explosives “equal to one kilo of TNT”.

The report added that the bomb appeared to have been stowed in the space usually reserved for a lifejacket, adding to fears that Islamic State may have used a mole inside the airport to smuggle it on board.

“Investigators and secret service experts managed to locate the seat under which the terrorists planted the bomb which destroyed Airbus A321,” says the report in LifeNews.

“The bomb which was equal to one kilo of TNT exploded and its forces went forwards and hit the rows up to 27. The wave went slightly backwards too and hit the row 32.

Although the Kremlin initially rejected the idea, the head of Russia’s FSB security service told President Vladimir Putin last week it was now clear the explosion was caused by a homemade explosive device on board the plane.

A $50 million reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.

#6  IIRC SPUTNIK NEWS = claimed that the bomb was put under or next the seat of a 15-year old Russian teen girl.

A pretty one at that.

#5  C4 releases 40% more energy than TNT. The damage is much greater since the blast wave is much faster.

#4  1 kg explosive force? Not sure how much C4 (for example) that would require

This video shows the effect of 10 oz. of C4 going off inside an airliner.

#3  1 kg explosive force? Not sure how much C4 (for example) that would require but I think that would indeed fit under a seat.

You idiots keep telling them how their bomb performed. I'm sure they appreciate the feedback.
