  1. Probably wasnt smart to move towards it while being defused

  2. always amazed me how fragile the human body is when near munitions going off like that. Its like watching russian soldiers on top of tanks when said tanks drive over AT mines.

  3. The saying is; shoes off, they’re dead.

    But when you and all of your equipment are being tossed in random directions, I doubt you’ll land and get up.

  4. I personally would just have detonated it with a charge from a distant. Why not just rebuilt a road vs. Risking a life.

  5. Proper EOD operation or ‘what’s this thing on the ground?’.

    Because I doubt that it would be a formal task if other soldiers were casually wandering past it. Course the Iraqi Army did take a while to professionalise so it could be that also!

  6. Isis soldier in the distance watching thru binoculars salivating watching all those troops move near the IED

  7. He wasn’t defusing anything he just looked at it, not even sure he was EOD.

    It was probably a remotely detonated IED

  8. Looks more like he walked up to something fishy and took a careful look at it. Does not seem like he even touched it.

    Just a poor grunt at the wrong place at the wrong time

  9. What was that pop right before the explosion though?

  10. Bro, seeing this made me think about that vid where his friends car got blown up by a missile and he is back in his seat looking sad.

  11. Damn ISIS got the problem solving skill of a mechanic before close… bloke was being nosey, nose removed.

  12. Got to admire how chilled the cameraman is. He barely even glanced over his shoulder when the bomb went off.
