And yet another NWA Nigerian with bathroom problems.
On the same flight.
Hilarious.

Seems PETN is involved, http://www.powerlabs.org/chemlabs/petn.htm
gives a good synthesis but of course there's patents. But its a simple
poly-alcohol nitration, all you need is the nitric. Similar to nitroglyercin,
TNT, even exotics like RDX.

The syringe and extended fire continues to indicate a sugar and chlorate
mix (same ingredients as "snake" fireworks http://www.chem.umn.edu/services/lecturedemo/info/sugar_dehydration.html

If the fire appeared purplish this would indicate potassium chlorate.

Of course aluminum powder is always good to add for energy and temperature,
but its metallic albeit nonferrous.
