The only divided nation in the world, South Korea. Although it is currently in a state of armistice, traces of war still remain. The most representative example is explosives. The explosive ordnance disposal team (EODT) protects the people from these dangers. They are personnel who received specialized explosive ordnance disposal training in the military and perform tasks such as installing, removing, and dismantling explosives. We meet these individuals who risk their lives to ensure the safety of the people in critical situations. The extremely dangerous explosive ordnance disposal dispatch site The explosive ordnance disposal team in a unit located in Gyeonggi Province reportedly receives reports of the discovery of explosives 2-3 times a week on average. At peak times, they receive reports as many as 10 times a day. That is why the explosive ordnance disposal team is on standby 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ready to be dispatched at any time. When a report comes in, even if they were eating with their families at home, they have to quickly return to the unit... In most cases, citizens report the discovery to the police or fire department, which is then relayed to the unit and the explosive ordnance disposal team. The rule is to be dispatched within 30 minutes of receiving a report! They have to quickly decide whether to detonate the explosives on the spot or retrieve them after taking safety measures based on the photos sent by the reporter. Usually, 3~4 members of the bomb disposal team go to the scene as a team. They are divided into the 'processing team' that directly handles the explosives and the 'support team' that helps the 'processing team' complete their mission and prevents access by the general public. The processing team wears a 30kg EOD suit, endures sweat pouring down from tension, and uses the equipment to neutralize the detonator, the ignition device inside the explosives. It is said that it becomes twice as difficult when dispatched at night because even this is difficult to see. The bomb disposal team EODT must endure tremendous pressure and fear every time they go out. Men who risk their lives for the safety of the people of the Republic of Korea! Let's meet them. Amazing power! Large-scale explosive disposal work Explosive disposal work that takes place in cycles of about a week. They have to gather all the explosives that they have retrieved and detonate and incinerate them at a designated disposal site instead of dispatching them to the scene. There are 50 different types of bombs to deal with, and they weigh about 3 tons! First, in order to incinerate the flammable ammunition, the bags containing the ammunition must be torn open and lined up. This length alone is a whopping 100m! Once ready, they use a ignition pad to ignite them. One thing to be careful of is to start from a distance and burn them slowly to prevent a large fire from spreading to the surrounding area. Meanwhile, on one side, they begin preparing to detonate them. To do this, they first use an excavator to dig a hole about 4 feet (1.2m) deep. Inside, they stack the ammunition in order from the smallest to the largest. They design it so that the largest ammunition is placed at the top, so that the impact is directed downwards, making it as safe as possible. All of the bomb disposal agents who finished preparing quickly moved to the shelter, held their breath, and waited for the explosion! The explosion occurred 30 seconds earlier than expected. The ground shook, and the explosion was so massive that the things in the hole flew far away. What on earth happened? For everyone's safety, we go to see the scene where they are risking their lives and working hard in places that are not visible. #Extremejob #RiskingLife #ExplosiveOrdnanceDisposalSquad #EODT #DisposalTeam #SupportTeam #DetonationIncineration #LargeExplosives #DetonationDisposal #Excavator #ExplosiveOrdnanceDisposalCrew #ExplosiveDecommissioning
