TECHNICAL PROBLEMS WITH BELLACIAO (FROM MICHAEL WRIGHT)
Twice I have replied to the post from the Business College student who was having trouble reading my scans, but they have come out in the wrong place, at least on my screen. In my screen they are displayed beneath the message from the character who claims to know all about fireworks, and seeks to discredit me.
The post from the self-proclaimed fireworks expert is most interesting. I received a similar communication by private email recently from a fellow calling himself "Mr. Anchovy." He also claimed to have expertise about fireworks, and used some of the exact phrases. Further, his headers disclosed this IP address: 24.253.211.222.
BellaCiao deletes part of the address of my critic here, but discloses 24.***211.***
I think that it is fair to assume that this public comment post is from Mr. Anchovy, who concluded his email to me with this statement, about Hinrichs’ bomb: "...was it a destuctive device? Over a small, say 10ft, radius, absolutely!"
OK, without going into all the technical questions he raised, let’s just work with that. Simple geometry tells us that a circle with a radius of 10 feet would have an area of pi times 10 squared, or 314 square feet. Hinrichs was seated on a bench adjacent to a sidewalk when the bomb exploded. Lets assume there would only be people in front of the bench, during half-time, when I suspect Hinrichs was planning an intentional detonation. That leaves us with a semi-circle with area of 157 square feet. How many people walking down a crowded sidewalk would fit into an area that size? By Mr. Anchovy’s own reckoning, that’s how many could have been killed by Hinrichs’ bomb.

Nice try, Mr. Anchovy.
