#1 God--what a waste--there must have been nothing recognizable left of those 5 guys. I can't believe they would be so careless trying to remove a shell like that! If they had any training whatsoever, they certainly ignored it.

Should have just detonated it in place.

#2
"There's one guy firing into the air"
"He's in mourning for his friend."

One good thing that may come out of this is perhaps they can use the video to drive home the point that volunteers should listen better to their instructors.

#3 Poor beggars.

There's a reason EOD is left to EOD guys who know what the hell they're doing.

#6 My nominee for the guy with the worst timing in the world is the fifth "dude" who moseyed up to see what was going on.
