I actually checked this email out on Snopes to see if it is true. Go to
http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/bottlebomb.asp to see for yourself. If you scroll down on the site you will see the short video demonstrating the power of the explosion. ---------- BE AWARE This was sent to Penrith Council, New South Wales, from VEOLIA waste collection. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ Kids are putting Drano (a blocked drain substance) tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you'll never make it!!! If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some of your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don't pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that Everyone that may not have Email Access are also Informed of This.
