On the weekend I happend to see a movie called "Blown Away". It was a movie which centered around bomb defusing squad members. It just struck me as to what would have been going through their minds when they would be defusing the bomb. In Surat, 29 bombs were diffused recently.
Imagine this. A bomb planted in a building or a suburb. You being a bomb defusal squad member have to defuse it. First thing in your priority is to find as to where the bomb exactly is. Secondly when you do reach the Bull's Eye, you should understand the design/architecture of this dreadful thing. And to top all this, you never know when is it going to explode with all its intended tenacity and intensity.
We may say that they would be given the training and the necessary know-how as to how to go about all these precarious situations. But even then the probability always stands as 50-50. You get only one chance and that has to be "A bingo yelling one". No second retakes.
I guess these guys really does a wonderful job for mankind in their own dangerous ways and saving lives by risking their own. I guess these guys really deserve an ode of salute.
