FBI Agent Explains How Bombs Are Disposed Of | Tradecraft | WIRED
To quote an EOD guy about the stress of defusing a bomb, “I’m either right, or suddenly it’s not my problem anymore.”
Reddit right?
He die.
BMO Right. He either defuses the bomb, or someone else has to worry about it (because he’s dead).
To quote a reddit post
Pat Actually, it was a guy I met.
I saw a bomb tech with a T-shirt and written on the back it said, "If you see me running, try to keep up."
Vriki fc lol
I saw a similar one. It ended with ...then you should run,too lmao
Huh
Arham He means that he he is running the bomb can’t be disarmed and will go off so you should take that as a warning and run too
WTF!
So, no cutting red wire at the last second?!
Bruh that's exactly the scene I see on every movies where bombs are about to explode😂😂😂😂
MikeZ86 is this a MW 2019 reference
@@iaisosoakoaozoso5453
No, any movie and game in the past has always had the defusal wire red. However in real life, it could be ANY color or could even be more than one wire.
What happens if there were 6 red wires, which to cut?
Rusty R3volva I can't remember who it was, but a scientist who worked with highly explosive chemicals was once asked what to do if an explosion occurs, and he said: "I've always recommended a good pair of running shoes"
My recruiter told me that I should think about doing this job... He said it’s the best job because if you mess up, you won’t be around to get yelled at or punished for messing up.
Messicole 12 as the saying goes; you either do the job, or it’s no longer your problem.
True
thats why they give you the bomb vest

How to defuse a bomb

I mean hey, Bing's technically not wrong.
Its actually how its done in the military, for tanks at least (if you cant go around it), they'll place a demo charge next to it and blow it up

😂😂😂 these comments are gold
I mean, yeah... It's meant for all the terrorists watching this😂😂
The lack of gloves part is the most sobering for me. It makes sense, but it signifies an implicit understanding with the technician that they're trying to keep you alive, but you're going to lose your hands. Oof.
this!
The whole suit is also only a limited protection. If the device goes off, depending on the mass of the explosives, chances are, due to the pressure increase, all the "hollow" parts of your body will explode, that is lungs, eyeballs etc. What the suit is extremely good for is keeping your body in one piece.
@@MrPi72 Yup easier to ID if something goes wrong and also the suit kind of reduces the chances of them becoming a secondary source of shrapnel because no one likes meat and bone shards flying everywhere.
@@MrPi72 Yep. It so they don't have to go looking for the parts.

"our equipment is the best in the world"
Proceeds to show a plastic bottle and a pot filled with water that defused a bomb.
Its actually very smart, you are using the water as an explosively formed projectile that is traveling so fast that it destroys the bombs internals before fuses can react or wires can send signals or a charge. The different ways you can force the water as a knife, jet or wall means it can even cut through metal cased devices or rip them apart. The composition and simple construction of these devices means that you can pretty much assemble them anywhere in the world and with few moving parts minimises what can go wrong.
Mate, tnt in water = no damage, we know this, he big brain

@@hoominbeeing well yeah that's the point, the people ctrl out of there
LOL funny but I do think they were referring to the bomb suit, robots and scanning devices
Integrated groin protector
Me, an intellectual: _fire diaper_
I just look at the whole suit as being like a can of dog food. If a bomb explodes in front of it, the over pressure and shockwave will kill whoever is in the suit but all that kevlar, nomex and plates keep all the meaty chunks together.
Blast diaper... pressure waves have been known to grips leg(s) off... or anything else that dangles....
The blast diapers actually worked
@@pixiniarts Very true, the suit just keeps you together not alive
These males put way too much emphasis on the groin. It's like 1/4 the suit.
Are we all on a watchlist now for seeing this?
Everyone is on a watchlist for watching anything, its called bulk data collection.
You're on the watchlist for using the internet. Everything else is just a bonus watchlist.
Probably
Plot twist: we were already on the watchlist and that's why this was recommended to us.
It is known the FBI will intentionally radicalize people and THEN bust them for acting on it. And if you slip through their fingers oh well, then we get an "event" that they can use up on Capitol Hill to take away some more freedoms.
Yep
I like how the best tools to counter an IED are all IEDS.
I use the explosives to destroy the explosives.
That's called a military solution, ladies and gentlemen.

HOW Daaaah You !
When bomb techs run, you run faster.
Never would've thought that the actual answer to 'how to defuse a bomb' will be 'blast it to smithereens with water'.
....... By using explosives to propel that water
If the explosive stuff is scattered, it doesn’t explode nearly as well. You also will probably disconnect the detonator by doing that, so it won’t go off at all.
Kovács Zsolt water disrupts electronics very well.
water beats fire types
The Myth busters worked on an episode testing out a bunch of bomb 'recepies' what were the materials were supposed to be easy to get and assemble. Turns out many of the them were real effective. They didn't air the episode obviously and gave the information to the FBI.
I worked with John in Afghanistan and can honestly say he is a courageous professional who I am proud to have served alongside. Take care of yourself Slick my Brother.

Wtf that is
Yes, yes it was...
They used the explosion to destroy the explosion

What did you think they did to stop a bomb? With explosives it's all about controlling the scene around the bomb when it does go off, not spending time dismantling it, it's gonna go off regardless.

"All detonations shown were supervised by trained military" - The Boston bombing suddenly took a dark turn
👏
No
Well they were using a news clip. But I get the joke lol
PhoenixUltraMotive way to kill the joke
Just open your mind to the possibility that the above statement might not be a joke, but cold hard truth. It's not impossible is all I'm saying.
We cannot trust our governments. The elite do not actually value our lives; they never have. We are less than pawns in their game, we are the board it is played on. Chip a little away here, break a corner off, a little damage - a few specks of material lost - but the game can still be played as they trample all over us that remain in the process.
Thankful to people like him who put their lives on the line to make sure we are all safe. I'm also very sure this man has nerves of steel. I personally couldn't do it.
Yes! Thank you for your appreciation! 💙❤️💙❤️

@Peach Papaya bomb technician has entered the chat : fjfjfjj ngjcjfnnfvjtkdk because no hands
They don't wear gloves because they would not be able to defuse a bomb if they had big gloves on it also probably would not make a difference anyway your still dead.
In Germany EODs don’t even use bomb suits.
But that’s because they don‘t have to disarme IEDs but because they have to disarme american and british bombs because they couldn‘t build proper fuses, especial timefuses.
FBI:
We have a hydrulic gun, an empty water bottle with C4 and a glass container with a hole filled with water for disarming bombs
It's not empty, it has water in it XD
KISS principles. Easy to use in the field by a person in an overstuffed armored suit.
And kevlar armor and robots and x ray cameras
please dont ever ever say XD again, please
Yet they litteraly say they use mineral water. And they say how the water knife thing needs water to make a water knife
"All detonations were supervised by trained personnel."

G9 Ranjiplays yes very much
I remember back in school we had a project where we had to make a slideshow about what we want to be when we grow up. One kid said he wanted to be in the bomb squad and talked about how the job is done. The teacher had a really worried look on her face for some reason.
because of ppl like this dude we can feel a little bit safer 💙
Stfu
We had an IED attack the final month of our deployment in 08'. Shredded the front half of an Up-Armored HumVee, got through the dash and left charred streaks everywhere. Thankfully I operated a different vehicle, but this video still gives me chills. These things are no joke.
I remember going into the city one night. I was wondering what was going on, and an officer said there was a bomb squad checking something out. Found out a few days later, the idiot that said "there's a bomb in this box", he forgot one thing, it was sealed up. So the police arrested him, went to his house and found bomb-making material.
FBI: Why are you sitting where you are sitting?
Bomb:
the most sophisticated of all devices: a plastic bottle
I mean if it works, it works.

There’s so much detailed information in this video, I actually think I could disarm a bomb now.
Not without a water bottle you won't
Just wrap some det cord around the explosive and you'll disarm it... By using an explosion. Yeah this is big brain time
