| Every day is the 4th of July for EOD: Factory Clearance Sale - Colorful Language |
| 2008-07-01 |
| Added: Jun 27 2008 Colorful language translates to: Gee Whiz, Golly and that was a humdinger. These guys are not your fathers Gomer Pyle. We got called out with EOD to take care of an "IED". Turns out this IED wasnt an IED, but a VBIED (Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device) factory. With 1000lbs of explosives in the shed, and roughly half that amount in the truck parked in front of the shed, EOD decided to blow them both sky-high. the best explosion ive see yet while here. when the smoke clears, both the shed and the truck are gone, with one of the trucks axles sticking out of the ground. |

| #3 I guess those MRAPs really keep out the street noise. They were probably buttoned up before the blast. You can hear it faintly in spite of the internal engine noise and "colorful language" inside the MRAP. |
