Cool Too bad.

For a few years I led Secret Service bomb search and disposal teams which were comprised of military (primarily Army) Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel.

Seeing the photo of the bomber lying on the ground with blast burns on his torso and hands reminded me of a photo that was prominently displayed in the Army EOD unit at Ft. McNair.

It showed a bomber sitting on the ground with his chest and face blackened by a bomb blast, and his hands gone. The caption on the photo was "a good bomber." Of course the bomb had detonated prematurely, severely injuring the criminal bomber.

I may save the photo of today's NYC subway bomber to make into a similar poster.
