Gaz6002 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I've just been reading about the collar bomb case in Canada. Sounds like something out of a horror film We're obviously not getting the whole story, but still. There's a video on Liveleak, but I won't post it because it's quite disturbing.

Attero Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 That is pretty disturbing... I too thought this only happens in films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 A weird case indeed. What's the Liveleak video quality like? I will check it when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I personally didn't think the liveleak video was THAT disturbing - yes it's wrong... but if anything, it looks like the guy died from whiplash more than anything... I was expecting a bigger explosion with body parts flying off. That would have been a lot more disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it's not the worst I've seen on that site, but it's pretty graphic all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should get back to work". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Beast Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Dont think he would of know much about that one going off do you? Just watched the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 The video isn't bad or graphic at all. It looks like a bad special effect. Not a nice way to go though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I think I'm pretty much desensitised to stuff like that. I'd hate the anticipation of knowing you're going to die by getting your throat blown out or head blown off (depending on the way the bomb's made). Sucks for him!

Bobbeh Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I saw the one where it looks like the guy's head explodes. Dont think it was his head, more like the device itself blowing up infront of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Beast Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Just so you know...... a bomb detonates quicker than the human nervous system can register pain, therefore you wont feel any anything if sitting on top of a device, or indeed wearing one!

If that was for my last comment I just meant while you were wearing it you'd be bricking it knowing that's how you're going to die if it goes off. At least it wouldn't be a long, drawn out affair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Just so you know...... a bomb detonates quicker than the human nervous system can register pain, therefore you wont feel any anything if sitting on top of a device, or indeed wearing one! Would it be so quick that the victim would not even be able to register the sound or the pressure wave? i.e. it would be a case of fully conscious and then dead before you know anyting about it?

nevins Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 just watched it, and the pressure throws his head right back or off before the blast reaches it . He seemed quite calm in the vid, thats what looks so weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
