The concept of inert materials combined to make volatile explosives is not a "new" idea ... it's only the buzzword "binary" that makes it sound new.
IMO it's a fake. It just looks like it was done by teenagers.
The guy's hands look like a kids hands ... even if they aren't it's a blatant attempt to look "professional" because the guy is wearing BDUs. Still, they're just about the cleanest BDUs I've ever seen for someone in the field.
The guy doesn't even know basic chemistry terms for the reagents. He just says "white powder" and "red liquid." Note how he blatantly places a crate in the frame to make it look important. What a laugh.
If it hasn't been mentioned earlier the explosive velocity listed is that of TATP. And it requires more than just a drop of TATP to achieve that type of explosion.
Then again, maybe it WAS done by teenagers who DO have the stuff but are just bad video directors.
Meh ... for this reason and all the ones stated earlier I don't believe the one depicted is real.

Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
