  You missed one of the most exciting parts of the story. &nbsp;The FBI bomb techs realized that the bomb was so powerful that there was no point in wearing their protective gear, so they just wore their regular shirts and pants with no protection while analyzing it.

  If anybody is wondering how a couple of guys wheeled a whole-ass bomb into a casino and nobody questioned it, here&apos;s why. I knew a guy who used to shoplift, but not the usual small, easily concealed items, this guy shoplifted fridges, washing machines and other big ticket items. How? He drove up to appliance shops in a moving truck, entered the store wearing overalls with a clipboard and told retail staff that he was there to pick up x item for delivery. 9 times out of 10, they&apos;d sign whatever nonsense was attached the clipboard and help him load the items into his truck. The 10th time he got arrested.

  &quot;Apparently there were bets when the bomb would explode.&quot;<br>Yep, sounds like a bomb threat in a casino to me. &nbsp;Gambling addicts gonna gamble.

  The irony of placing bets on a bomb in a casino is not lost on me. Also Harvy was a genius for turning that crater into a tourist attraction.

  I saw a guy who is an FBI bomb technician. He said that a bomb suit is the difference between an open or closed casket funeral. He also said that the FBI leaves bad bomb recipies on the internet because, and i quote, &quot;theyre self-solving problems.&quot;

  Worth mentioning that the pilot with the ransom money was instructed to land on a field marked with a strobe light. However when John Birges &amp; co. were driving to the site they realized they forgot to bring a battery pack with them and had to find a shop to buy one. So they arrived much later and probably just missed the helicopter.

  I honestly think the craziest part in this story is the fact that they managed to steal 1k pounds of dynamite, and no one seemed to care. You’d think if someone was crazy enough to steal literal explosives, they’d also be crazy enough to use them. And the sheer quantity of it too, it just feels like it was just forgotten.

  Birges planned for every contingency... &nbsp;Except for the extremely high likelihood that the first casino employee to encounter the odd device in the middle of the room might go, &quot;this thing is in the way, let&apos;s roll it over against the wall&quot; and thus set off the motion trigger switch before anyone had a chance to realize what it was.

  As a former casino dealer. Never think you can beat a place that sells nothing but still manages to keep the lights on 24/7
