This was the computer's enclosure, now bent over backwards. It landed alarmingly close to where we were standing, performing our scientific observations.

[Note: No dynamite was used in this Dynamite Dissection. Do not attempt to do anything like this on your own.]

No...unless they painted on the burn marks. Probably used something less volatile, like the propane tank shown in the first picture.
