Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Team in Action as They Remove Explosive Devices From an Office Building [Photos]
According to an attorney who called Eureka Police at approximately 9:25 a.m., the devices which the attorney thought were not very dangerous had been brought to his office by a client with the attorney’s knowledge so they could be surrendered to law enforcement.
Owsley said, “Nearby offices were evacuated for safety and pedestrian traffic was also rerouted.”
The EOD team collected the devices and disposed of them off site, she told us.

Why doesn’t the officer with the Bomb have some type of gloves on his hands??? Does he not value his hands in case it went off???
Lmao..duly noted
C’mon it’s the oldest scam in the book. If this guy looses a pinky he is set for life. Probably some liberal commie trying to suck the state’s disability teet paid for by the hard working taxpaying cannabis growers.
So sis and disability is for drug addict idiots like you only
I wish I had an opportunity for those government bucks. However my drug growing ass gets none of that and I probably pay three times the amount you pay in taxes. I also probably can say that last statement probably applies for the past 35 years. You know nothing about what it takes to grow drugs.
The guy is handling a bomb that could blow him to pieces. If it detonates, he could be turned to pink mist in an instant.
But here you are claiming this guy is on the take. Because he’s not wearing gloves…
You growers lost the public relations battle years ago, in part, because of comments like this. Completely clueless.
The take-away from all this is that you should go to college, not become a grower, otherwise you’ll be making asinine comments like this one.
No it’s cool he’s got his jacket over it. You assume I don’t have a college education. Why, cause I grow drugs?
You assume wrong and it also does not apply to my drug growing neighbors who all have Phd’s.
Some grow the drug because the government lies about the drugs we grow. They convince mass populations such as yourself to believe the drugs we grow are more harmful than the pills 90% of Americans consume to support their pharmaceutical lobbyists. Cannabis is an industry now funding this person’s training, tools and equipment get used to the comments their not going away anytime soon.
And ya I bet if the liberal commie lost a finger and collected a check for the rest of his life which is supported by your local dope grower, betcha 4 fingers signs the check just fine.
“You assume wrong and it also does not apply to my drug growing neighbors who all have Phd’s.”
Lol. K.
“Cannabis is an industry now funding this person’s training, tools and equipment get used to the comments their not going away anytime soon.”
No.
“And ya I bet if the liberal commie lost a finger and collected a check for the rest of his life which is supported by your local dope grower, betcha 4 fingers signs the check just fine.”
No.
Its likely a dexterity thing. Gloves capable of actually protecting your hands from a bomb with intricate work can be extremely cumbersome and in some situations create problems themselves. While the suit helps protect the survivability of the wearer. Depending on the size and danger of the explosive in question. The pressure wave from a blast and being in close proximity will still kill the wearer. It must not of been considered to be dangerous enough that the bomb bot was needed to move it. So they felt comfortable with the suit and a person.
At least this is my understanding of such things.
True
They need dexterity for the extremely delicate work of Explosive Ordinance Disposal. Gloves thick enough to have any protective value would be like walking around with your hands stuck in peanut butter jars.
This exactly. I work for the company that makes these suits.
New Covid masking requirements, I see.
They were enert-right? A lawyer had them (from a client) and they still were enert-right? What’s the issue other than-LOOK AT US THE HEROES OF SOCIETY TO SAVE THE DAY-from enert training tools.
This happens EVERY time to get attention and show the taxpayers they got their money’s worth.
This was a blazing liberal FALSE FLAG
They had no way of knowing whether they were inert or not until they got a look at them up close.
If they were inert they would be a different color than live charges and clearly marked as such. These were live.
LIBERAL???? How??? Just curious!!!
Because everything is a liberal plot. New here?
Crimestopper: Not inert. Reduced capacity military training blasts. Can still take out a car or a room in a house.
Strange: With all the equipment EOD used to “hand carry” explosives out of the building, strange no protection for his hands. Just sayin he’s got 30 pounds of crap protecting him, yet wears no gloves…..Looks fishy again something is no correct here.
According to the FBI, “Bomb techs rarely wear gloves, because hand agility and dexterity is critical.” https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/fun-games/tools_of_the_trade/tools-of-the-trade-bomb-technicians-text-version#:~:text=Bomb%20techs%20rarely%20wear%20gloves,controlled%20by%20buttons%20on%20sleeve.
Forgot to mention my career as EOD in the military. Yep, something not kosher about those photos; they didn’t follow protocol as a genuine situation. No gloves; never heard of it, never trained that way.
I think they could carry a cheap plastic bucket with kelvar gloves. No serious agility needed.
Blackbelt you replied in seconds……its late !
The National Explosives Task Force run by the FBI literally only analyzes cases in the aftermath; they don’t normally do field work. Peace
Military Wikia says, “In order to maximize precision, bomb suits lack gloves. This gives the wearer’s hands maximum mobility, but leave their hands and forearms completely unprotected.”

There is a difference between ordnance and ordinance that people should be aware of!
