Pagers

[Horn chaser]

Well this puts a new meaning of blowing up someone with texts. Hezebollah just got the message.

I saw that there were a few killed and about 2700-2800 injured.

It's a good start.

So how do you make a pager explode? Can they do it to your phone also?

"If" Israel had something to do with this, they are some creative folks.....

Somehow overload the batteries and bang. And yes. Think about that next time you slip your phone in your pocket.

Brillant, but it will need to the next thing - individual, personal bombs with nuclear material.

Think I'll start carrying mine in my back pocket instead of the front.

It wasn't Israel. Hezbollah just ordered a container load of pagers from Temu. FAFO.

There are some videos of these things exploding. I’ve seen lithium batteries blow, and these do not appear to be lithium batteries exploding. These have some SERIOUS force behind them. This is a picture…… it’s kinda graphic if you zoom in……..

[91cavgt]

Ok, that didn’t work. So I’m going to post the actual picture.

Here is a video of one exploding. It isn’t graphic as when the guy falls you can’t see the damage.

It is being reported now that they had previously intercepted the shipment of pagers and placed explosive material inside. They then sent a signal today that over heated the battery setting off the explosive.
