http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Utah-pageant-winner-accused-of-throwing-bombs-4707201.phpA woman who recently was crowned Miss Riverton after wowing the judges on the piano is accused of exercising a more sinister talent cooking up homemade bombs and throwing them from a car.
Kendra McKenzie Gill and three others were arrested Saturday after allegedly tossing makeshift explosives in neighborhoods at least nine times. Police said the four 18-year-olds admitted buying plastic bottles, aluminum foil and household chemicals before assembling the devices.
"They were throwing them at both property and people," Unified Fire Authority Capt. Clint Mecham told KUTV-TV, adding that nobody was injured. "This goes well beyond a teenage prank."

Everywhere you look you see stories of young people doing crazy shit. The pageant was supposed to be the exception to the rule. Oh well, Donald Tramp will probably see this and ask her to go for Miss America.

Guys in school would make really dangerous stuff from metal and detonate them in a field, I still remember the sound of the shrapnel flying through the air.
