Howto: Clearing Landmines in Vietnam

[DharoksOwnz]

that guy shouldnt be clearing mines, americans should.

[varocks183]

It's actually really sad Vietnam and Cambodia both suffer from the landmines placed by all sides during the Vietnam war. People are still to this day during to these small, unseeable explosives

[thisishyimhot]

What if the mines is not mettal.

Some mines are Plastic. How are they going to detect that?

[kiwisrcool]

@thisishyimhot There's usually metal in there somewhere. If there isn't... well they're screwed.

[BLOODYCLQ]

@thisishyimhot strong sensitive detectors require for this job. most mines plastic but they have metal springs in it. who cleans those mines mostly single people, no family no parents, not responsible to anyone, mostly half mad. this people reduce the risk by sending small group of sheep in the front, sheep walks in the front so if sheeps step on mine they die not the mine cleaners. i am retired army officer i saw mine cleaning before.

@thisishyimhot Dogs can smell the explosives underground.

Someone get Aki Ra in that damn place. "well trained demining technician" my ass! Aki Ra could demine that whole area in like an hour with just a stick and his pocketknife just as carefree as if you were mowing a lawn.

Excellent and very impressive work removing left over land mines.

I just wonder when do the countries that still manufacture those war toys will stop.

That's the million dollars question!!

Land Mine AKA the back stabber of war

[epik78]

SInce they know where the land mine is,can't they just roll a huge metal ball over it?

[YellowFU]

there are such ways

they used it in ww2

its a tank with metal balls in front that slamm the ground

[gupnup]

yah but i guess they couldnt do that no more since landmines are stronger now? i dunno

[nesten1]

it can be done now and it is being done now but these giant " tractors " with spinning chains on the front cost alot of money and these 3rd world countrys that have mines in them cant afford them

[IMFG]

these are the fucking mines of the USA !!! all over the world!!!

[clubpenguinnews204]

That would be so scary god

[MykeTyson]

Holy geez! That is serious man. BTW, how did the Soldiers during the war detect the landmines???

[Snowbrdr020]

they stepped on them. the legs laying around show where the landmine was.

[buttersownsuall]

they didn't detect them.

[MykeTyson]

Thats sad man. Especially for the Infantry soldiers who had to rush sometimes.

[urbanzombiekiller]

lol your joking right? whats he using during this video? it sure aint a vacumn cleaner.

[ELITEBBTRCT]

they used Metal Dectators, there were people who specialised in that catergory.
