Video Flagged Dead

Kurdish Peshmerga fighter defusing Daesh IEDs

The rain had partially exposed the devices, but I doubt I would be quite as calm as this guy.

There are two parts to the trap, the trigger and the ordinance. He was exposing the ordinance part and disconnecting it while staying well away from the trigger. The second part, once the device was defused, was digging up the trigger mechanism.

Had he attempted to do that part first the video would have been rather different.

In the second world war bomb designers set traps for the defuser, but these devices seem rather simpler, they're often made out of home appliances or repurposed shells rather than being purpose built.

Someone explain to me how those things work. He sure didn't seem to think they needed to be handled carefully. Just another day on the job.
