The goods inside ... ( 2 months ago by NardolTheElf)

The goods inside were destroyed yes. This obviously doesn't work well with delicates, but maybe bullion would survive the opening process well and remain practicable to recover.

unless the bullion ... ( 2 months ago by 01134hello)

unless the bullion itself is really really strong, and gold itself would be deformed quite badly because its soft, i guess this method doesnt really work at all, most of the items placed inside a safe, is usually quite delicate and fragile

Well no, though ... ( 2 months ago by NardolTheElf)

Well no, though soft and perhaps disfigured by the blast, it could then be collected and re-cast into ingots. My point with bullion is that it's shape doesn't add to it's value, so damage would be acceptable.

if you continuously put water in it, and were able to fill it faster than it leaked, you could detonate the explosive without sealant.

This is the most ... ( 2 months ago by wasilus)

This is the most stupid safe cracking method I ever seen. If you want to crack a safe use a big ANGLE GRINDER. It takes about 30 - 40 minutes at most and you need about 5 wheels.

I was pretty sure that woud happen. I once tried what happen if you put small firecracker in glass of water, glass flyed abaut 2 meters (7 feets) in air and water kept dropping from roof abaut half an hour. then I tried whit 5 litre (1.32 gallons) kettle filled whit water, it jump abaut 5cm (2 inches) in air. Lastly I tried again whit glass but i put piece of cardboard on glass. I tought cardboard would fly of the glass, but glass blow up in pieces and cardboard just fell down

they should just try a GAS AXE ive use them to cut though 2 inch steel plate took 20 min to cut a 2x2 ft square

really if you ever ... ( 1 month ago by vidaj1)

really if you ever saw the movie the score the mythbusters didnt test this right because in the movie the septer is on the bottom of the safe in a metl box surounded by other boxes protected by a metal box that incloses all of the boxes. so i think if it was like that then nothing would be damaged.

thermite gel... it ... ( 1 month ago by xXbrokenskaterXx)

thermite gel... it wouldn't compromise the integrity of the glass... much...

You couldn't use an angle grinder to go through such a huge thick safe! It would take you like 24 hours straight! Maybe for a little kind of safe someone keeps in their house, but not some big safe like they'd have at a wal-mart or whatever

yes you can , just ... ( 3 weeks ago by wasilus)

yes you can , just read my last post

You guys here have ... ( 3 weeks ago by wasilus)

You guys here have no idea what you are talking about, I am talking from experience,do you really think the walls of the safe are really that thick , they are not, I mean they are but not solid steel, you can cut the outside wall with an angle grinder then you remove the fire protection layer which can be a solid stuff like concrete but not that hard which you can remove with a hammer or also with an angle grinder but with other type of wheel,

or in case of an ... ( 3 weeks ago by wasilus)

or in case of an older safe model it can be ash like stuff, after you remove the inside layer you can cut the inside metal wall with the angle grinder as well, and it will not take more than an hour for a safe big as this one, with no damage at all to the content. And the best place to do this operation is on the back of the safe.

not true, maybe a ... ( 3 weeks ago by jacobssandy)

not true, maybe a thin safe, there's no way you could use a little angle grinder to go through massive safes like this or else safes would get robbed constantly and there'd be hundreds of thousands of bugleries every year, but there aren't very many commercial burgleries at all that are successful, and those who get away never do more than a few without getting caught. It's just impossible to break in.

I think in the movie though the loot was in a lockbox inside the safe so wouldnt that have helped?

u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10
year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl w
ill apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you
