I have the longer version of this incidient......A convoy was in the area and they were waiting for eod to show up and the iraqis said they would go up there and take the ied out of the road, Usually once you rip the wires out of it then the ied wont go off but I think the 155 round was old and unstable and it just went off.....I have videos of our (american) eod teams rippin shells out with a chain attached to a humwvv without the shells going off, its just the nature of the game.......The reason we dont want to blow the ied up is so we know how they are making the devices and we can come up with ways of defeating the devices......because you only see MAYBE 10 percent of the ied's......I would try to put the video up on youtube and then put a link on here but it will get flagged again.....basically the helocopter pilot trys to get a medivack out there to help them but theres not much left to be done except to clean up the mess
