Re: Combatant Walks on Top of a Landmine in Eastern Europe.
Takes years/decades after wars to remove these damn mines so i bet many civilians/kids walking or playing in the woods are going to get hurt in the future like in Cambodia.

Re: Combatant Walks on Top of a Landmine in Eastern Europe.
Yeah they have great programs like this: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/a...cience-animals But it is so unnecessary evil and short sighted to use land mines, like you said generations later civilians still get killed or maimed |

Re: Combatant Walks on Top of a Landmine in Eastern Europe.
Out of curiosity, would anyone, with more experience then myself, be able to break down their interpretation of events immediately after the explosion - outside of the obvious, right foot-mine-boom-success... It appears the first soldier has both legs blown backwards, torso leaning slightly forwards... Does the camera man fall backwards due to: A. A shock wave from the explosion? or B. Does the first soldier, after appearing to be blown backwards 'legs blown out from under him', HIT the cameraman? -sending the cameraman/2nd soldier to the floor, and the first solder falls forward-prone position, due to hitting his buddy? or C. Who knows who cares? |

Re: Combatant Walks on Top of a Landmine in Eastern Europe.
Small landmines like that aren't going to have a big shockwave, and whatever force they have is going to be directed more upwards because it's buried. I don't think he hit the cameraman. Cameraman - he fell back probably because of a mixture of surprise and being hit with a few pieces of the mine. Just my .02 cents |

Re: Combatant Walks on Top of a Landmine in Eastern Europe.
does anyone remember this video from early 2000s? it was one of my fave weird videos from ogrish. somehow they got animals to run through a minefield and they blow up the mines, and then the guy says "poor bambi" as a deer or african equivalent gets blown sky high haha |

Re: Combatant Walks on Top of a Landmine in Eastern Europe.
Posted this video a year ago with some interpretation of the post detonation events here > https://www.documentingreality.com/f...europe-212166/ My thoughts is. - The camera man probably falls over backwards after being startled by the blast and it’s loud noise. - The first guy falls straight down but crumples forward. - The guys left foot isn’t blown off by the blast. How much shrapnel damage it got, we don’t know. |

Re: Combatant Walks on Top of a Landmine in Eastern Europe.
When push comes to shove and it becomes a matter of defending your own country, even the "civilized" nations will use landmines. On paper each EU country made a pact of getting rid of their landmines but in practice every single country just stashed them away for future use, while still training their own soldiers on how to rig and bury them.
