Everyone has an opinion about why the cafeteria bombs failed to explode. Here’s some insight that will help make this particular issue a bit more clear.

First, the cafeteria bombs were not designed to explode with a detonator as in: detonator goes off, bomb goes boom. The tanks were wired for a BLEVE. They built their bombs so that the timers initiated a fire and that fire would, over time, create the BLEVE.

If you don’t understand a BLEVE, you’ll have to do your own research.

They used model rocket igniters, not detonators. This is documented in the recovered evidence. However, many people have said their bombs didn’t go off because of “faulty wiring.”

I decided to investigate to find the source of this claim and I believe I’ve found it.

I found an interview with Bruce Porter who said at 11am, Eric Harris walked into the cafeteria with a blue duffel bag containing two 20lb. propane tanks inside with a detonator. He said, “I spoke to one of the bomb squad experts from the CBI who told me that a single wire in the detonator of that propane tank bomb failed, it was loose.”

First, there were two bags, each containing one propane cylinder and wired separately.

Second, there were no detonators because that’s not how a BLEVE works. Maybe he used the word “detonator” to refer to a model rocket igniter. Okay, that’s possible, but it’s not possible that a single loose wire would cause both bombs to fail. It’s also not possible for a wire to have been loose.

There are no loose wires possible when creating a basic circuit with an alarm clock. Electronics 101 here. What’s more likely is that there wasn’t enough oxygen in the bags for the fire to fully ignite when the alarm went off.

Consider that police routinely lie to the public about bomb components and construction during an active investigation. They also don’t want people knowing how to make bombs.

All that’s interesting, but did anyone catch that Bruce Porter said a bomb squad expert from the CBI told him Eric walked into the cafeteria at 11am?

According to the official story, they placed the bombs in the cafeteria between 11:14 and 11:22. We know the official story is wrong because someone found the footage of Eric and Dylan each carrying one duffel bag into the cafeteria… at 11am, one right after the other.

How did Bruce Porter and his source, the CBI, know they put the bombs in the cafeteria at 11am?

People say, “oh my, I can’t believe the police didn’t catch Eric and Dylan placing the bombs in the cafeteria on the cafeteria tape! How could they be so sloppy?!”

Did they really miss it? Or did they just pretend not to see them, make up a story about the bombs suddenly appearing after the tape change, all as part of the “cover-up” to alter their official timeline?

Those cafeteria tapes have been doctored, as several video experts have shared over the years. When enlarged, there are pixels that appear around Eric and Dylan’s bodies that should not be there if they were really in the frame.

The cafeteria tapes were admittedly immediately sent out to be edited and the originals have never seen the light of day.
