Harris and Klebold had already planted two bombs in the cafeteria which were expected to explode at 11:00am, a time they calculated was when the most students would be in the cafeteria--900 Columbine students were on their lunch break. These two bombs were the largest at twenty pounds each, constructed of pipe bombs surrounded by [[propane]]-filled fuel cylinders. The pair had previously planted other bombs around the campus expecting them to explode too, however, most of them never went off. They brought the bombs to school in backpacks and bomb cases strapped to their bodies. Harris and Klebold were wearing trench coats so that their fellow students would not know that guns and bombs were being smuggled into the school.
