The text appears to be a transcript of a video or audio file that discusses the technical aspects of defusing bombs and explosive devices, often seen in movies. The speaker, identified as Paul Wurze, an explosives expert, explains how a bomb works, the importance of cutting the right wires, and the challenges of defusing a bomb in a dangerous environment.
He describes a scenario where a sophisticated device is located under a moving bus, making it difficult to work on. He explains the concept of a collapsible circuit, where cutting one wire will activate a backup circuit and cause the device to explode. He advises against cutting the power source as it will render the device inoperable.
The speaker also discusses the real-life effects of a nuclear explosion, explaining how the blast wave can cause buildings to lean and then be sucked back by the vacuum, causing further damage. He also talks about the importance of taking cover during an explosion, such as getting inside a substantial object like a refrigerator.
The speaker then discusses the movie "The Hurt Locker," where a character is in a similar situation. He explains that the character gets thrown into the air due to the explosion and the subsequent shock wave. He then explains how the character is far enough away from the blast to survive it, but the impact when it landed would likely not be survivable.
The speaker also discusses the significance of a cell phone in the movie, explaining that in real-life scenarios, these bombs were often actuated by a second cell phone incorporated into the device. He discusses the realistic depiction of the explosion and the shock wave in the movie.
Finally, the speaker talks about defusing a vehicle-born improvised explosive device (VB-IED). He explains that the easiest place to connect an explosive device is to the battery for power. He provides a step-by-step process of how to defuse such a device, starting with ripping out the wire connected to the battery, locating the arming switch for the bomb, and then ripping out the relay to disable it.
1. The narrator expresses a dilemma, mentioning a movie scene where the protagonist has to decide which wire to cut to defuse a bomb. The protagonist is an explosives expert and the bomb is designed to be difficult to disarm [Source: Document(page_content="00:00:01.04: oh heavens no not the green one\n00:00:03.84: pull anyone but the green one the wire\n00:00:06.00: dilemma is something that we see in many\n00:00:09.12: movies which wire to cut it adds a lot\n00:00:11.84: of tension to the movie hi gq i'm paul\n00:00:14.88: wurze i'm an explosives expert if you\n00:00:17.68: want it to go boom i'm your man and this\n00:00:20.64: is the breakdown\n00:00:23.63: [Music]\n00:00:28.84: speed bypass the remote current with the\n00:00:31.76: battery can you find the tripwire for\n00:00:33.52: the remote i don't know i got a few\n00:00:35.44: choices here\n00:00:37.04: black and red\n00:00:38.72: and green the villain who planted this\n00:00:41.36: bomb was an x-bomb squad expert howard\n00:00:45.44: payne atlanta pd bomb squad retired in\n00:00:48.88: sun valley in 1989 when a small charge\n00:00:51.36: left him with fingers numbering nine\n00:00:53.84: that's our scumbag\n00:00:55.68: and this device is made so it's going to\n00:00:58.40: be very very difficult to disarm and\n00:01:01.92: that's important because someone like\n00:01:04.48: myself\n00:01:05.68: could potentially be your worst\n00:01:08.56: nightmare basically i can't go into any\n00:01:11.44: more detail otherwise it's building a\n00:01:14.48: bomb 101 because otherwise all these\n00:01:17.20: kids are listening and they're going oh\n00:01:19.44: yeah i can do that\n00:01:20.59: [Laughter]\n00:01:22.64: i want you to clip on the battery and\n00:01:24.16: then run it to the lead wire\n00:01:40.08: i can't bypass it'll fire\n00:01:43.04: it's a collapsible circuit technically\n00:01:45.76: you could have a dual circuit taking\n00:01:47.92: down one circuit would activate a backup\n00:01:51.12: circuit and cause it to blow up they now\n00:01:53.68: know their chances of diffusing get slim\n00:01:56.80: so they have to take a different\n00:01:58.72: approach entirely\n00:02:00.88: i want you to get out of there and sit\n00:02:02.24: tight we're gonna go after the source\n00:02:04.16:
