Authorities Perform Controlled Burn Off Of Escondido Bomb House

Bomb experts could only come to one realization about how to proceed about the Escondido bomb house in this San Diego County community. A man who rented the Escondido bomb house had turned the house into a lethal bomb factory. The home was such a hazard the best way to neutralize the threat would have been to burn off the Escondido bomb home to the floor. The pay day loans somebody would have to take out to completely cleanse that house would be more expensive than just rebuilding a fresh one.

Bomb house in Escondido tracked with lots of HMTD

The Escondido bomb home was burned down Thurs at 11 a.m. PST. A gardener stepped on gravel in the back yard which caused him to be badly burned and the bomb factory discovered. Police looking the home were shocked to find a large stockpile of hexamethylene triperoxide diamine – HMTD. Officials called it the largest stockpile of Hexamethylene triperoxide diamine ever found within the U.S. It’s very easy for HMTD to detonate. It only needs a little bit of heat, friction or impact to do this. There was supposedly hardly any Hexamethylene triperoxide diamine the gardener stepped on. Supposedly it was less than a gram. Police also found nine detonators and 13 grenade hulls packed with HMTD.

Within the Escondido bomb home, there was more to be discovered

There was eight to nine pounds of HMTD within the Escondido bomb home. It was all removed. Eight federal counts are being brought against 54 year old George Djura Jakubec. These are there because of the high explosive devices he had and made. Jakubec has also been charged in three 2009 armed financial institution robberies in which he allegedly stole $54,000. There may be even more HMTD in the home. Authorities are afraid it might just be a giant trap. The site is so unpredictable a man on the bomb squad inadvertently set an off an explosion within the yard. The Escondido bomb house had the decision to be burned down made by the San Diego County Sherriff after asking FBI bomb experts for advice.

What will probably occur with burning down the residence

To prepare the Escondido bomb house for its destruction, officials built a metal fence 16-feet high, reinforced with 2 layers of fire-resistant drywall. The blast wall was coated with flame-retardant gel. The house next door was boarded up and coated with the gel. They cleared vegetation too. This was all around the house. The roof had holes cut in it by the Sheriff’s bomb squad. A 48-hour notice of the burn was given to everyone within the community. Interstate 15 was shut down north of Escondido, and individuals within the area have been told to close their doors and windows. There was a quick way for the fire to burn. It meant a temperature of 1,800 degrees would have to be used.
