    Hey Todd, I worked on that mine for years running the UXO Clearance and I can tell you that the mine has done a great deal for the local community they have put massive amounts of money into the local district authorities and the government but that is where the problem lies the money once it goes to the authorities it disappeared. So not really something the mine can fix mate.
    And the blow out at the top of the bomb casing looks to me like it has been attacked with a cracker barrel, which essentially is a solid steel disk fired into the bomb with high explosive to open the case up, so the filling can be burnt out. We used to do it all the time.
    The red guards are UXO Technician vehicles, HALO is British but the US flags are there as the US would be funding those projects mate

      Yes, I am, very much, thank you. Although, I didn’t make it to the South ☹️, perhaps next time🤞. Vangvieng and Meuang Feuang trip is coming up, it’ll be fun 🤩. Sadly though, there’s only a VERY SHORT week left 😭after that.
      Take care ❤️

    Next time your in Vilabouly, let me know I’ll get Nit to arrange a ride on her families tok tok and get her brother to take you out to their farm and take you fishing in their fish ponds. I’m loving the videos, there is also a lookout just past the big servo there where you can checkout the big mine. You’re doing a great job with the videos mate.

I think that bomb must have had a premature detonation,,or something..who knows,,on that one. Nice to see happy smile on the faces of the gift bags. Im proud of you guys. Its cool that Mina is taking a more active role too.❤❤❤❤ Take cale Hales family😁Ttyl,,,Marlon

    Totally agree that mining companies pay for road upgrades, they come in take what they want (for huge profits) then p-ss off after that and leave a mess behind. The Gov gets royalties but put little of that into local need and wants. The locals always miss out.

    • @laithstevens
      @laithstevens Месяц назад +1

      The mine put in a lot of money, the problem wasn't the mine not wanting to do, but more the local authorities misappropriating what was given.

  • @franbrinda

    Dud, incomplete detonation. Only the primer exploded and not the main charge?

    • @laithstevens
      @laithstevens Месяц назад

      No it is a low order attack with a cracker barrel charge to open the case to allow the fill to be burnt out mate

    Why don't you equate the currency rate in AUD instead of USD as most of your viewers are Australian, I lived in Lao for 22 years and came back to Australia in 2018, I also worked close for Pan Aud mining which is close to where you are, I am coming back to retire in Thailand soon as better infrastructure, services and dental and medical.

    • @NowinLao
      @NowinLao  2 месяца назад

      @paulwilkinson839 lol.. you'd think so yes, but that's where you're wrong. More than 40% of my audience is from the US. Australians only make up around 15% of my views. Also, most people around the world know the value of $US compared to their own country's currency, which can't be said for $AU 😉
