I think it'd be cool to have an empty shell of one of those bombs, where the pressure spikes were put lightbulbs and hang it as a chandelier. As a remembrance to those who risked it defusing them.
Technically, it depends on the specific explosive (there were several different types used, almost all were mixtures of 2 or more basic explosives), but also in the case of cast TNT, it was simply not worth... :-) At the end, when they're rolling the empty sphere, doesn't it seem they are wondering "and now let's have some fun with this big ball!"???... :-) Beautiful documentary, indeed! Thanks for posting!
And you think your job sucks.

Remember the old sea-mines that used to be dotted around our seaside towns and used to collect coppers for charity?

Surely those powerful explosives they just set fire to could have been reused?
