Bomb disposal in Laos - youtube - interesting

[butterfly]

I just watched all four parts of this about bomb disposal in Laos.
More bombs were dropped in Laos during the Vietnam war than the total ammount dropped by the allies during the whole of WW2..

Thanks Kev,I just watched all 4 parts,thanks for posting link, there was a very high failure rate with a number of those bombs,(and Bombies)I am surprised at the fact that they are so close to the surface,out of a B52 I would have thought they would have gone way down about 15 feet or more,those "Bombies"were wicked little sods,just lying there waiting to be picked up (by kids)and sold to the scrappie,what an absolutly lethal place to go looking for food etc,those EOD instructors and operators are not paid enough,whatever they are paid it is not enough,
Don,

Videos like this should be required viewing for national leaders and those who would be in government. War is not the answer to settling disputes and leads to greater problems for the future. The MAG do a good job. All credit to them and the people they train.
