Thus for the following reasons, there was less than a one-percent chance of the alleged bomb exploding. As already stated, det cord (known to most as &#8220;Cordex&#8221;), looks like white plastic washing line with a black core. Though a high explosive in its own right, Cordex needs a detonator to initiate an explosion. If you light the end of a piece of Cordex with a match it will start to melt, and eventually drip all over the floor. A welding torch might have more disastrous results, so please do NOT try this at home!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nThe Shoe Bomber&#8217;s World<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/world\/article\/0,8599,203478,00.html<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nWho is Richard Reid?<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/2\/hi\/uk_news\/1731568.stm<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Richard Reid, shoe bomber: I failed because that\u2019s what God wanted<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2015\/feb\/3\/richard-reid-shoe-bomber-i-failed-because-thats-wh\/<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Richard Reid, the would-be terrorist shoe bomber who couldn\u2019t get his fuse lit fast enough, said his plot to take out 197 passengers on an American Airline flight was thwarted by God.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI admit many people would dispute that and disagree with me on that point,\u201d he said in a letter from prison to a researcher, NBC News reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RICHARD REID (SHOE BOMBER) Richard Reid http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Richard_Reid http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2001_shoe_bomb_plot &#8220;On 22 December 2001, he boarded American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami, wearing shoes packed with explosives, which he unsuccessfully tried to detonate.
