We all go a little mad sometimes...
Moscow, Russia - April, 2003
A Russian bomb disposal expert has been killed when a bomb he was trying to defuse by hand exploded in central Moscow.
Russian media report that a woman took the bomb into a crowded restaurant in a bag and threatened to blow it up, before it was seized from her.
Security officers failed to dispose of the device by remote control and it detonated when an officer was trying to defuse it manually.
The woman has been detained and is being investigated for possible links with Chechen suicide bombers who killed 14 people at an outdoor rock concert over the weekend.

Thank you for your extreme generosity. Russia long been plagued by extreme acts of terrorism, not all well known to us. Nice of you to bring them to light.

I always thought those armors were strong enough to prevent death from explosions🤔 Guess i was wrong

IIRC, they stop shrapnel well enough but aren't as effective against the pressure change associated with explosions which can still destroy your insides without anything piercing the suit.

That suit was nothing after the boom. Useless...

Futility at its finest. Sending an ambulance to pick up the well scattered remains of a human being. A road sweeper would have been more appropriate.
There's death, and there's taxes. If the first happens, you don't need to worry about the second.

So it was stable enough to be carried around, and the cops didn't relocate it?

Once it was identified as bomb, it was no longer safe to move it around. They also tried to remotely blast the thing without success.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
So that fact that it was identified as an explosive device, magically increased the sensitivity, and decreased the stability??

It definitely increased their precautions, but I got your point.
