@@CrabbyMcDoom aaaaand that was the point...but the lesson here is if you want to make a joke, ignore context. like the context for instance that the shockwave from the bag of heavy shit hitting the ground actually would trigger mines in a area around where the impact happened that is in fact larger than the object you dropped. so painting a safety circle is fine. also the "bag of shrapnel"...what is it filled with? because if it's ropes they are going to be just fine even if they trigger a mine because the ropes are going to absorb shrapnel not turn into shrapnel.
"Sir! He was decapitated in the car wreck." "That's a good sign. It means he won't have trouble breathing and he won't have to worry about spinal injuries!"
I actually did blow a bangalore in a simulated minefield while in the military while being in the firefighting unit, but as basic training given to all in the Engineering Brigade. Ironically I got in charge of a squad of firefighters despite being the least experienced as far as firefighting goes, due to being the highest in rank and the best shot. (Army logic.) It did kind of work out as I sticked to delegating tasks and handling communications not trying to micromanage anything.
That kind of leadership is actually shown to be one of the most effective methods, in any field really. Trust that your people are competent and respect their ability to do their job, and they'll respect your leadership and be willing to follow your lead when making the important calls. Of course, this kind of falls apart if your people don't know how to do their jobs properly, but other than that it's very good leadership skills on your part!
A leader never needs to be the best at their field. A common misconception. At a certain level it is even detrimental to some leaders to know too much about a topic. Because then the micromanagement starts and everyone involved gets fucked. You gotta be good at knowing who to trust, what task to delegate and where you need to relax.
i was medical paper pusher in the army and due to a mix up was placed with high speed combat solders for WLC. rangers, sniper and infantry. when we went to do the FTX (run by former rangers) I was put on point due to my PT score, weapons qualification and having the shiniest boots lol. i kicked a trip line because i felt something snag my boot and got everyone wiped out. they guy in charge almost failed for putting me on point. I passed when put in charge because able to avoid an ambush by changing the route I laid out half way threw. infuriated one of the other instructors that sat and waited for me in ambush on my preplanned lol.
What was their plan if the bag went onto a mine? Just duck, cover their head, and _hope_ the explosion doesn’t kill them? (or send them into another mine)
@@Ascaron1337 even better, the boy got hurt cause the guy who planted the mines stepped on one. like 50 feet away, and the shrapmetal flew all the way over. The mine the 'captain' set off. was right between he and the kids. like 10 feet apart. all fine. i too had to stop watching for a bit

The British Army used to teach (and they try to deny it now) a technique where you take your day sack and push it ahead of you while you try to cross a potential minefield.... So this clip is kind of in sync with a certain type of thinking.

if they dont have a thermal image camera they can use the firehose and blast water to make a "path" so if it does hit a mine and it explodes, it wouldn't shoot shrapnel just warm water.
1:13 the whole bag thing was used once. But it was in a completely different situation. A group of British soldiers walked into an unmarked Russian mine field and three were stuck one of which had both his legs blown off and they count not get the helicopter they needed. Worst part is the closest unit that had the helicopter they needed (which was a blackhawk which had a winch) was at an American unit and the British officers had to get permission to use it one man died and if I remember correctly it was seven men stuck in there. In order for the medic to get to them he used his bag the same way this guy did. The reason I said three was it was originally three but then more guys came down to try and figure out what happened only to set off more mines
A helicopter doesn’t sound safe because mines are most likely to be buried and the downwards force of the helicopter might set of mines as well Normally to get through a minefield they either take a metal detector and then find mines then try to identify the kind and some mines will be dugout and others have systems that let them go of if moved so they will remotely detonate them and then you have a faster way and that’s just launching a wire of explosives and that’ll blow up everything in your way including the soldiers that got stuck Also there are a lot more helicopters that have winches and can also rescue people, including more available Idk where this story comes from but I’d take it with a grain of salt 😅
I'm looking at this and wondering, why not just use the hoses to wash away the top soil covering any potential mines? If the mines go off, it's relatively harmful, and depending on how much water you have access to, you might even be able to carve a path wide enough for a truck or ambulance to drive down.
The whole jumping on a heavy back theory isn't completely out there. During Operation Herrick an incident occured at the Kajaki dam in which multiple British soldiers were severely injured after multiple mines detonated. The ,3 Para, medic used his bergen (loaded with his trauma gear) as a stepping stone to reach the most wounded soldiers.
Quick Count: Everybody who Actually knows anything about ordnance disposal facepalming while their wives watched this very dramatic rescue on the edge of their seat? (Ding, Puts hand up in record time: First ones mine! First Ones MINE Dammit!) I have hence also decided to never tell me wife about all of the very dangerous poop I used to do on a daily basis that makes her "dramatic rescue" look like a walk in the park cause most TV shows don't have you "humping" (lugging) that guy (or girl and / or associated dead assed weight in gear or victims personal items, you know like the important stuff: i.e. like their random shopping for that day, can't forget those deals man) just rescued the required 5 to 10 miles back to the rig, truck or humvee and / or the associated struggle of keeping them alive the entire way, plus the struggle of not killing them on the way intentionally cause they just won't shut up. Nice. So glad that they got all that done in about 20mins, I was worried for about 30 seconds there. And yes I laughed big time when the guy "jumped on the bag". Have now decided to tell all the EOD guys they don't need all those robots and large trucks worth of gear including the funny looking "keep your organs in all the right places" suit now, they just need big black (the bags people) cotton bags to fill with random equipment so they can Jump on them! Yes! Finally, a one step solution! They might even cry, god I hope not! Yay (I think, maybe)!
Last I checked, landmines don't normally detonate when you first touch them, it's once the pressure is lifted that they explode, also some are set to only detonoate if something weights a certain amount, preventing them from harming kids/animals, that backpack would never work.

I'm a vet with minefield training in Bosnia, and I don't think I've ever seen this technique. We usually use probes, like a knife or bayonet, at a shallow angle if we don't have a metal detector.
In Afghanistan, Corporal Paul Hartley of 3 PARA really did clear a path through a minefield by throwing his medical bag forward and jumping on to it to get to a casualty. Still probably a sub optimal way of doing it. Also I believe at the end he just gave up the throwing and walked through the minefield.
@@timoti9994 Not really sure about the civilian side of things. I'd say you need to join a police force and work your way into EOD. or the FBI following the same route. If you went EOD in the military then I think that would transfer into the police for you But it's really an area that I am not too familiar with.
@@jkfilms6738 dude was more asking, you're standing on the side of the field there with a fire truck and an ambo, there's a kid who will die in 30 minutes in a mine field 50 meters away. What should you do to rescue the kid with the knowledge you have from your role and training.
hey hi so why didnt they just throw him a tourniquet? the brother is already out there and a tourniquet ISNT complicated soooooo either use the ladder like they did (as stupid a idea as that is) to get some distance and then throw it or better yet just not suck, be safely back and be able to throw stuff a short distance, a tourniquet is light so even if it did land on a mine itd be no heavier than a bird or small critter so its unlikely to set a mine off (at least a properly designed one, due to weight being a trigger since people setting up minefields dont want random objects like birds to set them off) so its low risk (relatively) and if the kid gets it then hey he can stop the bleeding and buy enough time to get a bomb squad who can clear the field in a much better way than this stupidity, thus you limit the danger for responders AND the kids as you dont have fireman wannabe playing leap frog
I think the idea is that if they're bleeding alot it means they still have enough blood pressure to bleed, cause when they start bleeding a little it means they got too little blood left in their body. but the thing with the ladder was utterly ridiculous, positioning themselves directly above the splash zone of all the molten hot sharp bits
Afaict the quickest real solution is a rescue helicopter with a winch. Keep the helicopter way above the mines. And ffs, don't try to land a chinook because you can't get a proper rescue helicopter. Reading about that was a tragedy.
There is nothing better than watching you videos. Sure makes for a great day afterwards. My wife said other day that it's just a show. Unfortunately, people watch this crud and only creates issues I have to additionally have to deal with on scene. Great video
I know next to nothing about firefighting but that minefield bit had me stitches! Like wouldn't it have been easier to use a bomb sniffing dog or rat??
Here is a question why is there a minefield just laying around? Is this some old decommissioned military base? Was it left by some batch of criminal villains? This scenario of the diversity check list Texas fire fighters dealing with a minefield is a major stretch and stinks of plot contrivance.
@@liesdamnlies3372 mines are either magnetic or require the trigger to be physically depressed. A rescue helicopter wouldn’t set them off. And the higher they hover the less rotor wash force hits the ground. Run a rope or a winch out to its longest length possible and have them put on harnesses. Done.
@@liesdamnlies3372 those are to set off mines if someone tries to dig them up. They are buried and the rotor wash would push them down slightly, not lift them up. You are trying way too hard to over complicate the scenario. Mines are dangerous because they stay set and armed for decades after they are set, ignoring most shifts or shocks in the surrounding ground. They are one of the most stable explosive devices in any arsenal. If they could be set off from a light helicopter hovering for a few seconds they wouldn’t be useful because a strong wind would set them off. Microbursts occur all over the world. They are stronger than the rotor wash of all but the largest helicopters, maybe even those. Quit being contrarian when you are ignorant of the actual subject.
This was like listening to my dad when we watched the UK show London's Burning as he was a fireman for 25years and constantly took the P out of any show with fire brigade in it.
Also pretty sure a landmine only goes off as you lift pressure off of it, so chucking a heavy bag on top would be fine, but the lifting the bag up would set it off, just making him the shrapnel too (I'm not mine expert, so it maybe as it has pressure place on it that sets it off, but I pretty sure its as the weight is lifted)

Helo with a good pilot. That way the skids never touch ground but hover a foot off the ground. You then have a medic stand on the skids to lift both kids in the bird. and that is how you would maintain scene safety and BSI....wait is this not a national registry test question?
Or just use a sling from the helo, even safer than standing on the skids.
@@zuludude2 well thats just crazy common sense has no place here sir
@@Iliketochopwood Chuck Norris can run into the field survive the explosion and save the kids!
What if the helicopter kicks up rocks that hit the mines. It would be best to have a helicopter with a winch.

I'd love to know what these guys were planning to do if they actually dropped the bag on a mine.
"Well, the bag exploded and we're in the middle of a minefield. Can someone else precariously bring out another bag, or are we just stuck here?"
“He’s bleeding out.. that’s a good sigh” tourniquet company’s 📉📉
2:00 never heard bleeding was good, beside menstrual.

As an ex firefighter this is truly one of my favourite TH-cam channels.
I'd love to be on this guys crew, it'd never be dull.

The British Army used to teach (and they try to deny it now) a technique where you take your day sack and push it ahead of you while you try to cross a potential minefield.... So this clip is kind of in sync with a certain type of thinking.
I can only guess why Britsh army denies or no longer teaches this tactic anymore!
I love how he greenscreened himself IN THE MINE FIELD AREA, like bro he is past the fence
Every soldier who has dealt with minefields be rolling on the floor right now XD
Maybe they'll cringe at the very idea of *bomb squad leapfrog from PARAMEDICS and not BOMB SQUAD!*
"That's a good sign actually."
Because as everyone knows life is a video game, and you only die when the -blood- hp level reaches zero.
Bruh if the mines are old school enough you could just grab a FRICKIN METAL DETECTOR 1:41
make this sort of video a regular series. You nail this so well and its among your most hilarious work.
This is why I don't watch TV anymore.
Tossing a heavy bag into *the middle of a minefield* is beyond stupid.
Why would any city in USA have a field full of underground bombs in the first place?!
@@MainMite06 not really except for like ordinance dumps but those tend to be like in the desert or other middle of nowhere place and heavily marked and fenced off
@@tylerblubaugh5549 It makes sense that military bases and grounds have mines for testing.
*But why a normal PUBLIC farm in Texas would have landmines?!*
@@MainMite06 well odds are it's a private property and mabey not even a farm but the options are crazy or just an ass
@@MainMite06 it was a 'crazy anti goverment dude' who mined his own property. some Hollywood idiot put in there that the man got them from a surplus store. *even though they are illegal to use, even by the government .*
if they dont have a thermal image camera they can use the firehose and blast water to make a "path" so if it does hit a mine and it explodes, it wouldn't shoot shrapnel just warm water.
1:30 the guy on top of the ladder is like... what the fuck is he doing?
“My brother is hurt! He’s bleeding real fast.” That’s the worst delivery I’ve ever heard.
1:13 the whole bag thing was used once. But it was in a completely different situation. A group of British soldiers walked into an unmarked Russian mine field and three were stuck one of which had both his legs blown off and they count not get the helicopter they needed. Worst part is the closest unit that had the helicopter they needed (which was a blackhawk which had a winch) was at an American unit and the British officers had to get permission to use it one man died and if I remember correctly it was seven men stuck in there. In order for the medic to get to them he used his bag the same way this guy did. The reason I said three was it was originally three but then more guys came down to try and figure out what happened only to set off more mines
A helicopter doesn’t sound safe because mines are most likely to be buried and the downwards force of the helicopter might set of mines as well
Normally to get through a minefield they either take a metal detector and then find mines then try to identify the kind and some mines will be dugout and others have systems that let them go of if moved so they will remotely detonate them and then you have a faster way and that’s just launching a wire of explosives and that’ll blow up everything in your way including the soldiers that got stuck
Also there are a lot more helicopters that have winches and can also rescue people, including more available
Idk where this story comes from but I’d take it with a grain of salt 😅
I love how he's just doing this like in his laundry roo.
I love the logic in these shows
I'm looking at this and wondering, why not just use the hoses to wash away the top soil covering any potential mines? If the mines go off, it's relatively harmful, and depending on how much water you have access to, you might even be able to carve a path wide enough for a truck or ambulance to drive down.
I'm not sure that would work
How you dare to use logic in the hollywood.!
So the plan is to push a collection of mud and undetonated mines direct at or near the victims?
@@rhamph and yet it’s still smarter than the show’s plan

The show is so brave to call out Big Tourniquet like that
The whole jumping on a heavy back theory isn't completely out there. During Operation Herrick an incident occured at the Kajaki dam in which multiple British soldiers were severely injured after multiple mines detonated. The ,3 Para, medic used his bergen (loaded with his trauma gear) as a stepping stone to reach the most wounded soldiers.
The only reason I’m ok with the existence of shows like these, is it gives you the opportunity to openly make fun of them! Thank you, I needed this 🙏🏻
So this programme got its knowledge about bomb disposable from blackadder.
Quick Count: Everybody who Actually knows anything about ordnance disposal facepalming while their wives watched this very dramatic rescue on the edge of their seat? (Ding, Puts hand up in record time: First ones mine! First Ones MINE Dammit!)
I have hence also decided to never tell me wife about all of the very dangerous poop I used to do on a daily basis that makes her "dramatic rescue" look like a walk in the park cause most TV shows don't have you "humping" (lugging) that guy (or girl and / or associated dead assed weight in gear or victims personal items, you know like the important stuff: i.e. like their random shopping for that day, can't forget those deals man) just rescued the required 5 to 10 miles back to the rig, truck or humvee and / or the associated struggle of keeping them alive the entire way, plus the struggle of not killing them on the way intentionally cause they just won't shut up. Nice.
So glad that they got all that done in about 20mins, I was worried for about 30 seconds there.
And yes I laughed big time when the guy "jumped on the bag". Have now decided to tell all the EOD guys they don't need all those robots and large trucks worth of gear including the funny looking "keep your organs in all the right places" suit now, they just need big black (the bags people) cotton bags to fill with random equipment so they can Jump on them! Yes! Finally, a one step solution! They might even cry, god I hope not! Yay (I think, maybe)!
it says a lot about humanity that these shows exist
Why was there even a minefield in Texas?
The minefield is there to fight woke activists trying to destroy that man's farm!🤣😂
The Texan farmer tweeted something that triggered the woke brigade and has taken reasonable safety precautions?
@@armchairgeneralissimo Yes they've taken necessary precautions they have learned from Vietnam and black fridays as a means of defense!
Last I checked, landmines don't normally detonate when you first touch them, it's once the pressure is lifted that they explode, also some are set to only detonoate if something weights a certain amount, preventing them from harming kids/animals, that backpack would never work.

These shows are so terrible, and I love them.😂
Remember the 911 Runaway car episode?!
That crap would be impossible or easily solved in 3 minutes!
Manual car suffers a stuck-on clutch:
*Reality solution: Manual car cant start the engine or move away because the tranny is stuck in neutral or engine cant move in 1st gear!*
Manual Car suffers a broken gear lever while driving
*Reality solution: Driver can hold the clutch, hold the brake stop car, stall the engine and wait for a tow truck*
Fox 911 logic and solution:
*The manual car will runaway from the drivers control, because of the clutch and speeds up more because of broken shifter and the only way to stop the car is by ramming a firetruck to stop the car!*

I'm a vet with minefield training in Bosnia, and I don't think I've ever seen this technique. We usually use probes, like a knife or bayonet, at a shallow angle if we don't have a metal detector.
Why can’t we just have good TV shows like All in the Family anymore? This stuff is terrible.
Rescue me” !!
Emergency. Where every call was based (loosely, for production purposes) on actual events.
It's supposed to be - it's campy. Making fun of all the bad rescue dramas. People are supposed to laugh but, seems like nobody gets it...
FDC: Gives accurate information.
Movie/Series: I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.
In Afghanistan, Corporal Paul Hartley of 3 PARA really did clear a path through a minefield by throwing his medical bag forward and jumping on to it to get to a casualty. Still probably a sub optimal way of doing it. Also I believe at the end he just gave up the throwing and walked through the minefield.
As a combat engineer in the army 12B where my job right now is literally to find mines and IED's... The way they are doing this physically hurts me.
How *should* you do it, without formal education/training? like what would their best option here be?
@@timoti9994 Not really sure about the civilian side of things. I'd say you need to join a police force and work your way into EOD. or the FBI following the same route. If you went EOD in the military then I think that would transfer into the police for you But it's really an area that I am not too familiar with.
@@jkfilms6738 dude was more asking, you're standing on the side of the field there with a fire truck and an ambo, there's a kid who will die in 30 minutes in a mine field 50 meters away. What should you do to rescue the kid with the knowledge you have from your role and training.
This show is a great demonstration of the difference between creative and smart.
I think he said "That's a good sign" to reassure the kid and help him calm down.
Jesus this show just doesn’t miss a beat does it...what’s their next call? I mean how do you top volcanoes and now a mine field?!?!?

This guy is so funny. I loved the last part. He’s literally made my day soooo much better.
hey hi so why didnt they just throw him a tourniquet? the brother is already out there and a tourniquet ISNT complicated soooooo either use the ladder like they did (as stupid a idea as that is) to get some distance and then throw it or better yet just not suck, be safely back and be able to throw stuff a short distance, a tourniquet is light so even if it did land on a mine itd be no heavier than a bird or small critter so its unlikely to set a mine off (at least a properly designed one, due to weight being a trigger since people setting up minefields dont want random objects like birds to set them off) so its low risk (relatively) and if the kid gets it then hey he can stop the bleeding and buy enough time to get a bomb squad who can clear the field in a much better way than this stupidity, thus you limit the danger for responders AND the kids as you dont have fireman wannabe playing leap frog
No no no. Logical thinking isn’t allowed in Drama shows like this. Hollywood don’t like realism.
These are better than if “real people” commercials were real life
Have you by any means met a *Boston man who loves Tom Brady and doesnt shake hands?*
This is needs Translation for other countrys, in Germany is this TV Show popular too.
I know a German word; KRAPPENFAHRT. It means "diarrhoea". "Cause that's what you do when you have diarrhoea. You krappen fahrt.
I think the idea is that if they're bleeding alot it means they still have enough blood pressure to bleed, cause when they start bleeding a little it means they got too little blood left in their body.
but the thing with the ladder was utterly ridiculous, positioning themselves directly above the splash zone of all the molten hot sharp bits
Depending how you look at it, it is a good sign. If you're bleeding, your heart's still pumping.
Afaict the quickest real solution is a rescue helicopter with a winch. Keep the helicopter way above the mines.
And ffs, don't try to land a chinook because you can't get a proper rescue helicopter. Reading about that was a tragedy.
That shouldve been the script but fox said: *NO I WANT MORE DRAMA!*

I know next to nothing about firefighting but that minefield bit had me stitches! Like wouldn't it have been easier to use a bomb sniffing dog or rat??
Here is a question why is there a minefield just laying around? Is this some old decommissioned military base? Was it left by some batch of criminal villains? This scenario of the diversity check list Texas fire fighters dealing with a minefield is a major stretch and stinks of plot contrivance.

Safest and fastest method would be to use a helicopter with a harness to lift them straight up and out.
@@stuckgrenadepin.225 Assuming the torrent of air coming down doesn't set any of them off.
@@liesdamnlies3372 mines are either magnetic or require the trigger to be physically depressed. A rescue helicopter wouldn’t set them off. And the higher they hover the less rotor wash force hits the ground. Run a rope or a winch out to its longest length possible and have them put on harnesses. Done.
@@stuckgrenadepin.225 You're making an assumption there aren't any anti-handling devices in the mines. Just sayin'
@@liesdamnlies3372 those are to set off mines if someone tries to dig them up. They are buried and the rotor wash would push them down slightly, not lift them up. You are trying way too hard to over complicate the scenario. Mines are dangerous because they stay set and armed for decades after they are set, ignoring most shifts or shocks in the surrounding ground. They are one of the most stable explosive devices in any arsenal. If they could be set off from a light helicopter hovering for a few seconds they wouldn’t be useful because a strong wind would set them off. Microbursts occur all over the world. They are stronger than the rotor wash of all but the largest helicopters, maybe even those. Quit being contrarian when you are ignorant of the actual subject.
That bag of potential shrapnel is also a bag of potential chain reactions, which could result in injury to the not already injured subject..

This show is absolutely ruined for me now... But I don't care, I was never gonna watch anyways lmao
This was like listening to my dad when we watched the UK show London's Burning as he was a fireman for 25years and constantly took the P out of any show with fire brigade in it.
I didn't know I needed these videos in my life until I found them lol
Also pretty sure a landmine only goes off as you lift pressure off of it, so chucking a heavy bag on top would be fine, but the lifting the bag up would set it off, just making him the shrapnel too (I'm not mine expert, so it maybe as it has pressure place on it that sets it off, but I pretty sure its as the weight is lifted)
