bomb defusal. How do they now which wires to cut and all of that?
In: Other
Bombs are not defused like in the movies. They are either detonated in place, or moved to a safe place and then detonated. If the bomb has to be moved they will build a small dam around the bomb and flood it with nitrous oxide to freeze the bomb. This stabalizes the bomb and slows down the reaction if it explodes. Then it is put inside an explosive resistant container and taken to a safe place. Then the bomb is detonated with a smaller explosive.
Edit: Liquid nitrogen, not nitrous oxide.
