Which Explosive is the Most Illegal? (Explosives Lore)
DO NOT MAKE EXPLOSIVES! In this video, we discuss the most dangerous explosives. We categorize them by their legality, danger, stability and toxicity. Even if you think you are able to safely prepare explosive compounds, you are probably wrong. There is a fluorine chemist named Darryl Desmarteau who was a chemistry professor researching energetic fluorinated materials. One day, when his researchers were out of the lab, he went to check on the lab, as any responsible supervisor does. As he was checking on his students' experiments, he reached out to take a closer look at one flask, and in that moment, it went off. When he ran to the lab phone to dial 911, the phone didn't respond, because he didn't have a hand anymore. Please consider the safety of yourself and those around you, as even trained experts have been maimed from experiments of scientific value.
