'Acid bomb' explodes at Hilo site
HILO » An "acid bomb" exploded Wednesday morning in an empty restroom at the popular Rainbow Falls overlook in Hilo, the Hawaii County Fire Department said.No one was present, but remnants of a plastic bottle and an acidic smell prompted a janitor to call authorities.
As the maintenance man was sweeping up, he noticed "smoke" coming from his dustpan, and his eyes began to burn, the department said.
The unknown acid is the danger from such bombs, which can throw the acid a "significant" distance, said acting fire Capt. Henry Silva.
Police are investigating.
University of Hawaii at Hilo student Edward Emerson Wine II is accused of placing several such bombs on the university campus early on the morning of Dec. 18.
Wine pleaded not guilty to felony counts of owning a prohibited explosive and terroristic threatening yesterday and is to be tried May 11. He is not known to be linked to Wednesday's case.
