Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

The Mitsubishi L300 van bomb was made from potassium chlorate, aluminium powder, and sulfur. The terrorists assembled 12 plastic filing cabinets filled with explosives. The cabinets, each containing a potassium chlorate, aluminum powder, sulfur mixture with a TNT booster, was connected by 150 metres of PETN-filled detonating cord. Ninety-four RDX electric detonators were fitted to the TNT. The total weight of the van bomb was 1.020 kg. The attack killed 88 Australians, 38 Indonesians, 23 Britons and people of more than 20 other nationalities.
