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.

LOL

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.
