View Full Version : This should of never happened...
Video is graphic but not so much more than what we have all seen before. Just be forewarned.
I am also afraid to say that this couldn't happen here but it has and some people still haven't learned.

Great .wav file!
I have had officers walk up behind me when I was setting up x-rays, etc. They while standing there said "Boy, I wouldn't do your job, etc." :munchin

Let me guess.
You were the only one armored up when they were standing there and said it?

This reminds me of Darwinesque officers in my department who will walk up to your newly recovered evidence and begin toying with it (you can insert your choice of evidence as I have seen it happen from guns to drugs). "hey man, whatcha got there?". Idiots.
This is the personality type that reaches into a rocky recess without looking and comes out backwards with a rattlesnake attached to an appendage.
They'll have a hard time learning. Kinda like the kids in Tom Clancy's "Shadow Warriors". These kids would roll landmines down the hill to see how long it would take for them to detonate. A few died and some were saved by some QP's while they did humanitarian assistance in Kurdistan during the first Gulf War.
When we first rolled into Iraq the looters where going haywire over all of the things they could get their hands on. Anyone remember looters coming up sick after they looted the Al Tuwaitha power plant? Anybody see an Iraqi local try to turn a dollar by selling you munitions out of the backseat and trunk of a taxi. It happens in Afghanistan too. I have seen it and I tell you that is one scary site to see.
Sorry for the slight bump. :lifter
And this guy died for lack of a long rope!

I can confirm for you - Ankara Turkey 2003. Conference on Terrorism at the main Police Admin Building in Ankara. Janitor finds a bag left unattended inside a room adjacent to where confrence is to begin in 45 mins. Janitor goes to summon help and bag cranks off. Post blast is conducted by ALL bomb techs and EOD supervisors already there on scene for conference. Local terrorsit group is suspected.
2 hrs later, SAME janitor finds a second identical bag and picks it up, walks it out of the building and flings it into the courtyard. This time bomb techs and EOD personnel walk out of confrence to identical bag and begin to monkey ---- same. RF energy abounds as people on cell phones and motorola radio on lead tech (Mr. S.S.) are utilized. Lead tech decides to hand enter to render safe - bag has other ideas. No one killed - two WIA pretty bad.
Stupid is as stupid does.

And now, for the rest of the story....
That makes it perfect, casey!
Thanks for the explanation.

Casey, I may be going out on a long limb here, but I believe the body that is laying there is missing at least one arm and a head.

There is actually two bodies together. (Mr. S.S. - lead tech & and an assistant bomb squad C.O. from a southern province) Lead tech had major upper trunk/arm, facial and overpressure damage - southern dude had almost same.
Bag contained less than 1lb of HME. As far as losing a head, they're are arguments he had one to begin with, Trip Wire will explain..... Both are still alive and living off pensions.
Sorry in advance for being disrespectful of the deceased and injured, but it looked a lot to me like "Team America - World Police" except without puppets.

casey, thank you very much for the background on this video. I saw it some time ago and could not find any background on it. I'm very glad to hear that all concerned are still alive.

Somehow I don't think this was covered in NAVSCOLEOD.
