I’m very sad to hear of this.
Why were they using LIVE EXPLOSIVES during a TRAINING exercise???
Using live explosives in training is stupid. The safe simulation devices are more expensive than the real ones, but cheaper than the upcoming lawsuits and are also reusable!!
Horrible…. Thankless job… they literally lost their lives removing bombs from the community… and people are laughing at their deaths… RIP.
Just more gang on gang violence.
Maybe they will reflect on whether the job they’re doing is worth dying for.
