alt_blaiseTeds, have you read tonight's Prophet? You're the one always reading up about explosives: can you make heads or tails of what they say about the one last night? Well, not one. It was several bombs attached to the supports below the top box. They're saying there were different types, too, but I don't know the terminology. It's all Muggle, isn't it? So the kind they're calling 'incendiary' was meant to start an elemental fire of some kind, right? And the one with the 'manufactured fertiliser pellets' was meant to blow out the supports beneath the box, I guess. And then the 'shrapnel,' that's nails and other bits of metal, right?
The thing about it is that this was the one kind of thing MLE wouldn't have found, right? And yet, look how really well their protection magic worked. That fire didn't rip through the stadium like it was meant to, and the force of the ones meant to crush the support structures was significantly blunted, wasn't it? And most of the shrapnel was contained or vanished by the wards around the box. Did you see the diagrams? Dead amazing that they can show us just how the protections worked!
