Pressure Cooker found under a tree, 5 ft from Elementary school in Florida.

[ArcadiaGP]

School evacuated.

What do you think? Prank? There's a live feed on this page... just staring at a pressure cooker under a tree.

Pressure Cooker Evacuates Hialeah Elementary School | NBC 6 South Florida


It's almost calming... like watching grass grow.

Prolly just has a clock inside.

Prolly just has a clock inside.

The camera man is so bored right now... just checking on random stuff... "IS THAT A DEAD BODY OV.... ah, no... just a manhole cover. *sigh*..... oh look, pedestrians.... alright better look at the cooker again.... ooo a bird"

 

[HoughMade]

Three questions:

1) Was there a chicken inside,
2) if so, will this result in chicken soup?
3) Do they have enough for me to join?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Don't they need to be plugged in to work? Is it plugged in?

What's the logical conclusion of this feed? Will a bomb squad detonate it? That might be cool to watch, I guess.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Ooo there's a guy in bomb gear. He's goin' in


What's that thing he put down next to it?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

BOOM! They shot it or something.

I mean... the thing they put next to it shot it. The Pressure Cooker didn't do anything, just fell over.

That was riveting.

I think they are normally on the stove, but there may be electric ones.

Could probably run a dangerous google search, but I wonder if you could run it until there was a s-ton of pressure, hook it up to a battery pack to maintain the pressure, then deliver it where it needs to go. Maybe rig a capacitor of some sort to deliver a jolt.

I can remember reading about the Boston incident, something about how they actually faulted part of the structure to give it a directional component.

When the janitor goes out to get his lunch that was cooling, he's going to be pissed.

I've stopped googling canning recipes for fear of ending up on the watch list.


edit: Looking at the picture more closely, It almost looks more like a crock pot than a pressure cooker.

Ok, so you guys realize "pressure cooker" bombs dont have to be plugged in or on a stovetop to work right? They aren't cooking anything, simply acting as a pressure vessel to amplify the explosive blast. The explosives and shrapnel are allowed to build to a higher pressure before the container bursts.

Yes, but if you don't plug them in or use a cooktop then you don't get the best flavor infusion from your herbs.

Kinda looks like either an electric pressure cooker or a rice cooker to me.

Thanks, Denny!

thank you, sir buzzkillington

So, do you think the mom who forgot to load her cooker in the minivan after the carry-in dinner will own up to it?

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

"Instant Pot"? Wow, takes it from seeds to dried herb in hours rather than months or something? Hey, I know "instant" is sales hype, I may be demented but I'm not stupid, duh.
