fatal logic error, Turksih bomb squad

Post by dragon »

Ok this is old so not really news. I would say goes under logic but feel free to move it. Appearntly after one bomb had already went off the police in turkey inspect trhe second even went as far as sticking his hand in it when it went off. the picture I found on various military sources.
A bomb explosion in the Turkish capital, Ankara, has injured 16 police officers who were inspecting a suspect bag.
The bag, which had been left outside a justice ministry building, blew up as the officers - who wore no protective gear - opened it.

They had arrived at the scene after a similar bag exploded there a few minutes earlier.

Two of the wounded policemen are said to be in a critical condition.

No-one was injured by the earlier blast.

Ankara governor Yahya Gur called the explosions a "deliberate act of violence".

I thought picture three, capturing the very start of the fireball, was quite interesting and impressive from a dispassionate viewpoint.

I have to say that the 4th picture creeped me out until i realised it was two separate guys.

The purple shirt one doesn't look too badly injured, i actually would've expected him to be a lot more mangled.
