BrerRabbit~SPARTA~ Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) Buried too deep or not enough charge too it - either way lucky for the troopers in the convoy. After watching it a second time I have to wonder if even if that went off directly under the front truck it would do any real damage. Still, one lucky break for those guys.

Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Yeah, even if it hadn't done a terrible ammount of damage, it would have stil launched the humvee about 10ft up in the air and the drop would have hurt the guys inside. Not a lot of padding in those seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinobi_EBDA Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Damn, that was pretty damned close! I started wondering, how do they get those things under the road? Dig tunnels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halli~SPARTA~ Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yeah the charge was packed and lifted the ground, a perfect way to break up the ground for constuction. If there was an air gap between the charge and packing IE dirt it would have been worse. I say this because when you drill rock to blast if you have a pocket of air the blast follows the weakest route out, where as if it's packed the energy is fairly even in a sphere shape.
