KEEE-RYST! I don’t even SEE dead people …
“There’s nothing left …”
That’s some bad pink-mist.
March 6th, 2008 at 4:49 pmhas anyone told those boys/our good guys/that it is better to leave those things alone or to put a charge on top and erase.
March 6th, 2008 at 5:10 pmWell now I guess they can’t take it home and put it on their mantelpiece.
Or whatever they thought they were going to do with it. I’m at a loss to explain why the “detonate in place” option wasn’t exercised.
I know they were friendlies and all, but I’m reminded of something Moshe Dayan said, “If you have to go to war, it helps to fight Arabs.”

LOL, that is golden. I remember that guy. Yul Brynner type with an eye patch. Badass motherfucker, if I remember correctly.
“I have only one eye. Do you want me to look at the road or the at the speedometer.” - Moshe Dayan
March 6th, 2008 at 5:51 pmWooooooow!
March 6th, 2008 at 5:59 pmI was watching that thinking, “Those guys have no fear of that shell!” and the damn thing went off! Good lord, evidently common sense is not common in Iraq.
March 6th, 2008 at 6:25 pmWow! WTF. What were these guys not thinking?
March 6th, 2008 at 6:29 pmLet’s get these guys into Common Sense 101, please.
I suspect this will be part of any new training films on IED disposal.
The sad thing is, I have relatives who’d do the exact same thing. Well, after a six-pack. What’s these guys’ excuse?
March 6th, 2008 at 7:01 pmIt’s the in-shallah way….
March 6th, 2008 at 7:10 pmDamn that sucks I hate to see good guys go down, even if they are just good-ish guys. I’ll remember them. I hope that guy that was stomping around all pissed off puts the new found knowledge to good use.
I’ve seen this before, I don’t really feel like watching it again, I hate watching the dude at the end freak out, now that he is breathing in his friends…… wow, just wow
” and this class, concludes our lesson on how NOT to do the EOD thing…..”
March 6th, 2008 at 7:14 pmI saw them doing that and I new this was going to go way wrong. If I was there I would have gotten far away. I used to be a explosives tech. They were doing everything wrong!
Holy Shit. This is scary. I’m glad none of our guys were there with them.
March 7th, 2008 at 1:19 amWhen I was in Saudi, I noticed most of the Saudis cut out the seat belts from their cars as soon as they bought them. It is the will of Allah. If Allah wants you to die, you can have seat belts and air bags…it won’t help. If Allah does not want you to die, you can plow your car into a tree at 120mph and you will live. This is Muslim fatalism.
Call them the bravest people in the world or the most absolutely stupid. But they have no responsibility for their actions. It’s all Allah’s will.
March 7th, 2008 at 3:16 amAnyone ever heard the story of the “Stupid Samaritan”?
March 7th, 2008 at 3:17 amWhy the hell didn’t they just blow up that munition? I don’t get it at all.
