I don't have anything on Fabulous

I read sensationalized expectations. Oh I am sure there is a lot of home made explosive and I am sure they authorities are going to take every precaution necessary to not damage other property or harm people in the area. But it sounds like a bunch of hipe that will fizzle come burn time.

They found a 1100 pound russian bomb on my base here in Afg and they put everyone in bunkers and had a HUGE coordinated plan but come time to detonate it in place it sounded like a blackcat in a tin can. We have bigger controlled detonations then that on a daily basis. Hell today they announced a "big controlled det in 5 minutes" no bunkers nothing and that thing rocked my office.

I forecast a regular house fire.

In the word's of James Earl Jones, "Stuff's gonna splode."

They calculate that if there is an explosion, it would probably throw the debris only about 60 feet.

Wow, all that shit that they claim is in there, and all the danger that it holds, and they expect it to only blow shit 60 feet? It sounds like they just don't want to mess with the clean-up.

I'll bet there's a dozen more across the country, that'll never be found.

Maybe this will finally trigger the San Andres Big One and it'll all slide into the Pacific.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

ESCONDIDO, Calif. -- One woman in Escondido said her life has been turned upside down since authorities discovered George Jakubec's dangerous house on Nov. 18.

Jill Knipp lives right in front of Jakubec's rental house. With plans to burn it down in just a few days, Knipp said she is not taking any chances.

On Saturday morning, movers taped up her valuables. Books and other belongings were put away in boxes and everything was packed up in a huge van to eventually sit in storage

"I'm taking 100 percent of the contents," Knipp said.

Knipp isn't really moving out and she's not selling her house, but she's one of the few who has been evacuated since Nov. 18 because of her neighbor, George Jakubec.

Jakubec faces federal changes after investigators found numerous bomb making materials in his house last month, including the highly explosive HMTD. Investigators said they found the largest stash of homemade explosives ever found in a United States home.

"I feel like having lived next door to that, not knowing what was there, any moment could have been blown up completely... it took awhile for that to sink in," Knipp said.

Now, authorities will burn the home down next week although the date has not yet been finalized. Workers built a wall that is 16 feet high to separate Jakubec's house from his neighbors. Knipp, who has lived at her home for 19 years, is confident that the wall will protect her property, but said anything could happen when that fireball erupts.

"It is what it is," Knipp sad. "I deal with it and hopefully when we come out the other side, everything will be back to normal."

Knipp has been living with a friend in Encinitas since her ordeal began. While moving is inconvenient, she said considers herself lucky.

"I feel really fortunate through this and grateful that I've had plenty of warning," Knipp said.

Knipp said her insurance will cover the entire cost if anything does get damaged but she is not sure when she will be able to move her belongings back into her house.

I don't think burning it would be such a good idea as it wouldn't insure the detonation of all explosives. Not saying it wouldn't or couldn't, but it isn't a definate. I would think an EOD team could set up a controlled blast to demo the ordinance and house. Of course, most of our controlled dets out here are in a small crater, but dirt berms could be built around the impact area. It's really not a big deal. It's something that happens on almost a daily basis out here.
