I guess that if it starts ticking again you’re not going to be able to run far enough away ... :shocked:
Just to be clear, mjr is Mat. I'm Matt. I deeply enjoy and admire his work, hope one day to meet him, and don't think anyone would ever confuse us, but I do feel obligated to keep us straight.
My apologies. Although I did have Mat in mind. I do not confuse either of you, regardless of typos.
Thats why we have EOD experts Graham, there's minimal risk and years of experience. These are 750lb and 1000lb bombs all dug up in the last couple of weeks from the local area, they are deemed safe to move and brought to a set demolition area to be destroyed, there are hundreds of small cricket ball sized cluster munitions everywhere that are far too dangerous to move, they get blown up in situ. Anything being manhandled like this has been assessed for risk very stringently. We blew up 3 on Friday, the noise and thump from the 1000lb bomb was just unbelievable, what happens after they are destroyed is proper scary, they are designed to separate in to hundreds of extremely sharp jagged pieces which rip apart anything in their path.
Thanks Will, it's a shame that it's necessary but glad to be a part of clearing the area, still people being killed and maimed from the unexploded bombs here.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it. Pramote
Wow! :thumbs:The drawbridge over the Sacramento River in Rio Vista, CA. This morning's sunrise. Fog is common around here in the winter, but the depth and thickness of the ground fog was a bit surprising.
