When I was about 12 I made some nitrogen tri-iodide, another very
unstable and powerful explosive, and left it to dry on a piece of filter
paper. The next morning my mother came into my room, complained about it
being untidy, saw the filter paper with what she thought was some dirt
on it, picked it up to illustrate the point she was making, and there
was a very loud explosion!

I also made some in the chemistry lab at school and sprinkled it about
the floor. Explosions resulted when the other kids stepped on it.
