Well generally people don't get injured in controlled explosions unless you're an army guy doing the explosion itself...used to be a daily occurance in this country, any ideas who is behind this?
Hazarding a guess I'd say the Royal Logistics Corps, but you can never be too sure
I think it is the latter. They 'control' it in the fact that they can decide WHEN to destroy it, have time to move people and property away to safety and, if they can, even encase it to keep the blowout to a minimum.
They put something around the bomb to protect the surrounding area and then blow it up AFAIK.
They've named him: http://www.epost.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=144913&command=displayContent&sourceNode=231190&home=yes&more_nodeId1=144922&contentPK=20430276
Got to smile at this comment from a neighbour:
My partner said he had seen the man who was arrested a few times being picked up in several different cars, many driven by white people.
Keep on eye out for this sort of behavoiur peeps, we must be vigilant to defeat the scourge of terrorism
Yes, quite often they blast it with a really high powered jet of water to push all the bits apart. Even the shot gun robots arent designed to actually blow up the bomb properly, idealy it just mangles it so it doesnt go off.
