well actually the burning is scheduled for next week.

i might be mistaken, but haven't there been controlled burns in the forest that have gotten out of hand? recently?

and here we have a controlled burn WITH explosives.

i sure hope it goes ok.

i'm glad i don't live near there.

i just read the link in the above post.

i'm really glad i don't live near there.

even the firefighters are staying 300' away when this bad boy is lit.

they're not worried about an explosion, they're going to burn the chemicals. look out downwind!

I hate to say it Alan, but I agree- it was odd that it was glued down. (Not hating to say it becuase it's you, but because it is a sign of the times.)

Now, does DPD's bot not have a disruptor (shotgun, waterjet, etc)? Little robot vs big robot, loser might not be as obvious as it seems.

How would be the Denver Police cope with suspect Bomb Dogs? The bomb dogs not glued to the spot could potentially be more dangerous than the ones glued to the spot.

Ironraven,

I don't know the why and how of EOD TTPs, but all the "render safe" operations I have been on recently where a package or device was destroyed explosives were used rather then a "disruptor". I am not sure why, but I am sure the EOD guys have a good reason.

I agree it's rather unusual, but maybe extreme.

And, yes, IEDs have been all over the place, since some genius figured out a pipe bomb, mail box bomb, or fertilizer in a U-haul. Nothing new.

What's stranger to me is seeing so many people confidently calling the bomb squad's actions ridiculous based only on what they read in the article.

I doubt we are going to learn what threat protocols are in place. I doubt the media coverage is complete or completely accurate, perhaps for good reasons.

I'll bet the bomb squad guys start finding little plastic robots in their lockers and set on their cars, beginning immediately.

You know what went through Blast's mind when he read that, don't you? You know you do.

Likely some kid dropped, lost his/her robot nearby and some helpful person put it up where it would be more easily spotted by someone looking for it. You see that a lot with hubcaps, mittens, and hats.

Everyone must conform and fit in or they, and their luggage, will be shot, tased, thrown to the ground, beaten into submission, and probed. Not necessarily in that order.
