Words can't describe the type of person who would leave a bloody bomb in a school yard. I could think of a better place to stick it!
WTF??
I thought it said Bong found in Schoolyard
What the hell took them so long to get rid of it?! Im starting to think that the military should handle all IED incidences, or at least train all EOD teams.
Several hours? What.. did they expect some criminal mastermind, Al Queda or the VietCong made and booby-trapped it? It's probably store bought pipe stuffed with match heads anyways.
I think it was a lot of, "ok we called the school, and evacuated the area..." flip page, flip page "now we have to... ask the fire department to... standby and wait." I can think of a few reasons it took a long time but most of it is due to a atrophy in regular training.
I was thinking, pick it up with tongs and drop it in a bucket of water.
It always takes hours to dismantle a "bomb". Even a left alone suitcase at the airport takes hours to clear. Safety before everything else.
There's such a thing as soak time, but it isn't several hours. Something or someone wasn't ready.
