Luckily I wasn't on a clear path but along a path dotted with small houses so I wasn't hurt but the air blast or the concussion from the explosion literally knocked me down - the force was really tremendous even at 100 yards away. Sadly, nothing was left of couple of guys who were tinkering with that bomb..
@pacfan could you explain a bit, when and under what circumstances did this happen.
