Smart move to gather around the defusing of an IED
That dude probably regrets wandering over to see what everyone is digging for
the astonishment of the pilots, is just very bizarre, when you think about the fact they just watched 4 people disintegrate on their live feed, and they just go: *”holy shit, dude…”* (i mean i probably wouldn’t have reacted differently)
reminds me of the Vietnam chopper pilots, just young dudes trying not to hard to remember what is going on on the ground
Not service connected.
Technically they were successful in defusing
Terrible. These people were trying to make it safe after religious terrorists planted a bomb. Now a bunch of twats laugh at them on the internet.
Darwin Award.
Why would they try to defuse it, wouldn’t it be better to lay some explosives on top of it and detonate it remotely? But they are soldiers, they should know better
Holy shit, this has to be some of the craziest footage I’ve ever seen
One brain cell between the five of them and none of them were using it. You should only risk one, if any, life diffusing an IED. Blow it up with dynamite for god’s sake!
That’s why we usually detonated them in place.
Who tf casually walks up behind a team trying to defuse an explosive, just to watch? I’d stay as far tf away from that as possible if it weren’t my job title
Fifth guy chose the worst time in history to take a peek.
Wonder if it was that 5th dude walking by that touched the trigger plate?
The thing with bomb disposal guys is that they’re either good at their job or they’re new on the job. This is how the other categories get filtered out.
When I first saw this, it was Al Qaeda or ISIS and I thought they were planting a bomb instead?
FWIW that’s probably the best way to go.
2:00 “I mean I could have predicted that”
It also sounds like a 155mm round not an IED.
Why not place a charge on it and blow it from a distance?
MedEvac is no longer needed…
What does “Iraqi soldiers” mean? And when and where was this?
Proper fucked
That scream made me shit myself.
I vaguely heard someone mention medivac after he described what had happened lmao. Did they make a recovery?
I mean…. What was the expectation? You’re treating an IED like it’s some kind of toy.
when was this?
Dude

First time i saw this video it was reported as insurgents attempting to dig out unexploded ordnance for use in ied’s.
How many Iraqis does it take to defuse an IED?
When was this?
I remember watching this way back when the internet was invented
It looks like they were trying to perform CPR on it
Whatever gene pool they came from needed cleaning out anyway buy the looks of it. 5 people clearing 1 mine, JHFC!
