That age, seems to be the age most of these folks get into trouble. It even pertains a bit to the troublemakers we saw in Charlottesville. Of course, it's not the rule; many Islamic terrorists are older.

If I have the story correct, the original bomb was a nail bomb but that part did not work.  That would really have me steamed, that is a real killing tool.  The original articles also say "fairy lights" which are what "Christmas lights" must be in England.  At least, that's the difference as I understand it.

If all it had was the flash I'd wager only part of the charge 'exploded' or burned.   Perhaps it was black powder and the bucket didn't provide enough pressure containment?
