Smells Sulfurous After Explosion?

[elgallegorivas]

What kind of explosive smells sulfur after detonation?

I participate in a group that is investigating the 11-M train bombing in Madrid (spain).

Maybe something that has sulfur or a sulfur compound in it?:rolleyes:

There was another thread on the Madrid bombing. I hear the compound UTFSE smells quite sulphurous after detonation.

Sulphur is a good addition to TNT (this is the HIGH explosives section of course, heaps of low explosives contain sulpher but thats not relevent.) Sulphur affects the power and sensitivity and is more accesible than TNT. Up to 20% sulphur in TNT is a will improve performance with respect to some tests and properties. COPAE details such phenomena with a little detail.
