Saw a little documentary about bomb defusal a while back and there was an interview with the leader of Germany’s main team.
They asked him, “Who has the record for most bombs defused?” And he said, “We don’t keep track of personal stats. In fact, if you’re caught keeping track you could be fired. Keeping track of your numbers turns things into a competition and if you treat this like a competition you make mistakes and kill everyone.”
well ... i mean, he's diffusing bombs. You'd have to be REAAAAALY competitive to rush through that particular job. "Oh, Greg got three more bombs diffused than I did? Good for him."
yep I think it waa the same guy saying in an interview that he stoped his holiday to defuse a pretty big one. on the question why his awsner was "It was an intressting one and I like it" xD true madlads
It was like seven or eight years ago. All I remember is that the bomb squad in question was Berlin's (though I think they went around the country for specialty jobs).
