This has "bad idea" written all over it

I am reminded of the Oregon's Department of Transportation's disposal of a rather large, very dead, beached whale...

This can't possibly go well.

I just hope they have cameras pointed at it the whole time. This has "EPIC" written all over it.

Sounds like someone was asking a 5 year old how to get rid of the explosives "just burn it down daddy"

Right. This is a big wtf...

Captain Morgan · 12-06-2010, 09:51 PM

the article said they can't use bomb robots to clear out the bombs because of all of the junk he has in the house. Couldn't they use the robots to clear some of the junk?

Also, this is pretty damned ridiculous:

"The home has been declared a public nuisance and therefore the county does not have to reimburse the owners, who were renting the house to Jakubec."

So, the county is going to blow up the home, but the owners of the home are just SOL since they rented to a crazy man (who I imagine they didn't know was crazy at the time they signed the lease).

I definitely want to see this shit on video!

WTF is a "pollution expert" and what do they plan to do to help out?

I think they should wrap the houe in bacon then set it on fire.

I like how they slid that in there. Complete bullshit.

I guess that's what happens when you rent to someone, but never do inspections. This isn't the sort of thing that happens overnight, after all. If it was a grow op, they'd lose the house too.

Many explosives don't blow when they are burnt but, then again, if they were afraid to send a robot in then there are likely a fair number in there that would blow if you sneezed on them. Maybe the economy is so bad in California that they want to compete with The Grand Canyon?

It's CA. Some environmental nut will spoil our fun citing it will piss off badgers in Montana or some shit like that.

The home owner could probably sue for the value of the home, just like when they get offered a ridiculously low price for a public works project.
