I guess that’s the nature of the business? Must suck though!

I’d like to know the damage?

Brutal.
It makes me reconsider how I think about my desk job.

I think i woudl want a longer probe.....with another shield

The operators cage has to be really re-inforced!!

diapers too!!

Too bad the despots who planted them aren't there for the decommissioning. The Ottawa Treaty and all the previous conventions should have had them and their cohorts dig them up by hand. Nasty bidness!

I disagree,the ones who ordered the mines and the ones who ordered it to be done should of dug them up. bingo, bubba, wang,helmut,thong,scumetchie and charlie were just fallowing the orders.

Linked article seems to tell that's actually happening, Chile is removing it's own mines. Sure, not the already dead leaders themselves.

Labeled as sea mine detonation on beach.

I would not have wanted to be that guy in the orange vest who had to stand out there while the excavator was burying the mine.
