It was a medevac mission like few others that required heroic choices from all involved.
On January 12, Marine Lance Corporal Winder Perez was wounded in a Taliban attack in southern Afghanistan. The live explosive and a foot-long remnant from a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) remained lodged in his leg. The medics have just recently been able to share their amazing story of the rescue. http://www.koat.com/news/new-mexico/albuquerque/Heroic-guardsmen-pull-live-bomb-out-of-fellow-troop/-/9153728/14460884/-/dmiuw3z/-/index.html |

Yea these devices have a pressure sensitive electric fuse that controls detonation of the shaped charge. SUPER DANGEROUS. EOD usually blows these up with another charge rather than tinker with it when it fails to detonate.
