| #10 The IED was buried and small. It couldn't overome the weight and cohesiveness of the asphalt. Makes me wonder just how long the IED was buried since I couldn't see any asphalt patch on the video. |

| #9 If it's culverts then the force of the blast ought to go out the sides more I would think, but I don't know much about this kind of thing. Maybe they are shaped charges or something. But if they are using culverts etc, then why not just plug them or put in sensors or something? Better yet, stick a claymore or ten in there! |

| #3 How do they get those things under the road? I didn't see any obvious signs that it was there. Do they go out and act like a construction crew? Tunnel sideways? Do they have road repair paraphernalia or equipment? Perhaps we ought to start regulating and tracking that kind of stuff if they do. |

| #2 I don't think it was really slow-motion, just buried too deep for the size of the charge. Still....it coulda hurt somebody. |
