#303 Mel Chancey - Youngest President in Hells Angels History
"They drove 100 pounds of C4 in a trunk of a car, shaped it, drove it up, put it against the door. They parked that car so nobody could get out that front big door. That thing went off. The feds said to this day it was the third largest bomb, the first one being Oklahoma City, the second one being the Trade Towers from the parking garage."
Mel Chancey described a 1995 bombing of the Chicago Hells Angels clubhouse involving 100 pounds of shaped C4 explosive. Federal agents classified it as the third largest domestic bomb at the time behind Oklahoma City and the 1993 World Trade Center attack. By fortune, no members were present despite several motorcycles outside. The blast created a 5-6 foot crater, blew the door through the back wall, cracked the foundation through three floors, and destroyed aluminum siding across the street.
