  • Master EOD Technician Jay Ly rates bomb disposal scenes in movies and television for realism.
    Ly looks at common explosives used in combat throughout history, from the improvised explosive device in "The Hurt Locker" (2008), starring Jeremy Renner; to World War II bombs in "M*A*S*H" S1E20 (1973) and "Rambo" (2008), starring Sylvester Stallone. Ly explains the plausibility of disarming nuclear weapons in "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" (2023), with Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg; the detonation of the nuclear warhead in "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012), with Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway; and the underwater explosive in "The Abyss" (1989). Ly also breaks down various tools and procedures used in explosive ordnance disposal, including using a robot for bomb detection in "Bluestone 42" S1E1 (2013), the bomb squad kit in "S.W.A.T." S5E13 (2022); and the wire cutters used in "SEAL Team" S2E1 (2018). Additionally, Ly looks at the realism of communication systems and render safe procedures used in "Archer" S1E7 (2010) and "Speed" (1994), starring Keanu Reeves.
    Ly is a former Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician for the US Navy, with 13 years of experience in explosive ordnance disposal. He did four combat deployments, including three to Afghanistan and a subsequent deployment to Bahrain. Ly is the founder and president of Golden Compass, a leadership and personal finance coaching company. He is also the Community Engagement Liaison of Navy Special Operations Foundation.

      I'd find it a fun and rewarding job. I mean, fun as in the way I loved firefighting: you get to help others, you get adrenaline rushes, etc. I can't be sure about the items he didn't explain due to secrecy concerns, but I understand it and I'm sure some steps can be figured out all the same. It's like how understanding the operation of a nuclear bomb is relatively simple, but despite the information and schematics available out there, building an efficient device would take expertise, money, and materials. With just the latter you could certainly create something that produces a sufficient yield, but not several kilotons or beyond.

    The color-coding of wires on bombs is just so hilarious when you think about it. In most electrical applications, color-coding is specifically so repair people can tell what they're dealing with at a glance. In fact it's often regulated by code or actual law. Why would a bomb-maker even consider making it easy to disable?
    Unless it's for story purposes, like it's a fake bomb, okay then sure. Or if it's to fool the heroes, "Aha! You've fallen for my trap! Those obvious wires outside all make the bomb go off instantly!"

    I was a civilian bomb tech for 25 years for a large sheriffs office. Just like the military we do training at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama for IED recognition. A really useful procedure in any disruption whether you’re going hands on or remotely, is the acronym PIES. It stands for power supply, initiator, explosive, switch. If you remove anyone of these, the device will not function. I would explain this to students using a simple fire cracker as an example. The power supply would be someone lighting a match. The initiator would be moving the match to the fuse, the explosive would be the cylindrical portion of the fire cracker. and the switch would be the fuse. So, just like with this simple device, all the way up to the nuclear weapon, if you remove one component, the device simply won’t work. Great video.

      That is essentially a paraphrasing of the essential components for any machine, power, trigger, actuator, target. Every machine needs something to start it working, something to do the work, something to act upon, and a power source, these can be arbtrarily in number and complexity but all machines even a simple mousetrap has all 4 of those basic components to function as intended. The spring for power, the trigger plate for the trigger, the trap arm for an actuator, and the mouse as a target.

      Well, unfortunately there are nukes that have been “lost”. The US admits it lost 6 nukes that can’t be recovered but there’s probably more for various reasons whether it is strategic, a mistake, or perhaps even stolen. The other nuclear armed countries almost certainly have the same situation. I’m not an EOD but my buddy was and he can only say he knows how to properly disarm them if he has enough time but he can’t say anything. The most I got from is exactly what this gent said. It’s classified, but if you look up “ declassified recorded arrow incidents”, you can get an idea how many nukes went off by accident or were prevented.

      A lot of times, when it comes to technical matters, the less you do/show, the less you can be wrong. This is actually rather common in particular in sci-fi. If you just say you have a thing that can do a thing, generally no one can argue otherwise. But if you try to explain it, especially using existing science principal but do it wrong... boy will you be roasted.
      So the simple solution of controlled detonation of any sort is actually the safest option of depiction from a technical stand point. And honestly, that's what a lot of bomb disposal actually entails--either set it off with a robot or put it into a box(if it can be safely moved). At least anything that are on the lower end of yields. Why bother take the risk with tinkering the thing when you can easily minimize the damage and make it go away.

    There was a video about a British Bomb Disposal member during WW2. He stated that once he got to the bomb the first thing he always do was that he sat on it before he began his work.
    So in the event if the bomb went off he wouldn’t know about it.

      That doesn’t even make sense… if he’s working on it with his face up to it he won’t know if it goes off then either. Not to mention why would he risk setting it off when it could’ve been disarmed?
