"Legendary" British bomb diffuser dies in line of duty........

Pretty amazing stuff. Fellow troops credit this guy for saving hundreds of lives through his skill and bravery in the line of duty.........

Bomb disposal expert killed in Afghanistan was a day away from two weeks' rest - Times Online

Wow.
I guess he knew the risk involved with the job, and accepted the risk as a part of helping/protecting others.

It takes a special kind of person to be willing to walk toward a bomb and disarm it.

Check out the movie "The Hurt Locker" which is about these people. A special kind of person indeed.
