In theory, it’s a great idea. You find the ATM machine on the outside of the bank, put a little dynamite by it, light the fuse, and wait for the dust to clear. Then you walk away with the money. At least, that was the plan of some bank robbers in Mecklenburg, Germany. This is the end result of trying and failing to rob a bank’s ATM with dynamite. As you can see, the only thing left standing looks to be the ATM machine the guys were trying to rob.
Really, they’re lucky to be alive. The last time some guys tried to crack open an ATM with dynamite, they blew themselves into a million pieces (and won the Darwin Award for dumbest criminals). Those bank safes are much, much tougher than they look! They blew up the entire building and destroyed everything EXCEPT for the one thing they were actively trying to destroy!
