Car exploded from a Car Bomb.
The Car Bomb is an IED using a car both as the weapon and transportation to set it in place. It was the Explosive Weapon of the Medellin Cartel.
Description
The car bomb is simply an everyday car filled with gasoline and dynamite and detonated remotely.
Use
The car bomb has long been used by terrorists wanting to place a significant amount of explosives in a crowded place without drawing unwanted attention. The Medellin Cartel frequently used them as a way of causing widespread damage to demonstrate their power. It has also been used by other terrorists like Taliban and IRA.
The most famous instance occurred on December 6, 1989, when a car loaded with 1,100 lbs of explosives was detonated outside of the DAS headquarters in downtown Bogota, Columbia. Over 50 were killed, with more than 600 more injured, and destroying over 300 commercial properties. For the sake of maintaining a fair match, and to avoid the cartel members to get constantly killed by their own explosion, only 40 lbs were used on Deadliest Warrior. This is still the largest explosive weapon on the show yet.
