Too Close For Comfort for Two EOD Airmen
When EOD returned to Base Camp with the rocket, two EOD Airmen set up an x-ray system against the rocket in order to identify its contents. As the Airmen were walking away from the x-ray system, the rocket exploded sending a massive shock wave and fragmentation toward them. Luckily for the Airmen, several pieces of equipment (reported as a pressure washer and grill) blocked some of the frag. Other pieces of frag hit the two Airmen in their legs, arms and backs.
