Instructor: So, the scenario here is you guys were called as the bomb squad to this issue here with Sean, and you have to figure out what to do.

Those wires aren't touching, are they? Right. And his foot is holding that clothespin down based on our X-ray. Right. So it's open.

I can tell by looking at that if those wires touch, it's going to complete that circuit and it's going to make that electric current go through the blasting cap and initiate that IED.

Right. We don't want to accidentally set it off.

Student: On the count of three, lift your foot up.

Student: Are you sure, bro?

Student: I'm sure. Ready? One, two, three.

Instructor: You got to get out of here, too. Let's go. Run. Done. We did it. Right now. You guys are out of here. I can bring my robot, we're all good. That's perfect. Had you guys not done that right, it would have gone off. I'll show you.
