Bomb “crater

Techniques which may be used for coUection of trace explosives residues at a scene include swabbing with either dry or solvent wetted swabs, sweeping up dust and smaU particles into suitable receptacles, vacuum collection, and the use of a contact heater to coUect semi-volatile materials. If a bomb crater can be located, then samples of the soil from the crater should be sealed in nylon bags for later laboratory analysis. 

Why are you telling me all this Trix had equipped herself with a platinum blonde wig from Aphrodite s collection, but that wasn t a factor in her playing dumb. The simple fact that De Schalles had revealed so much about his tenuous loyalties to this Lord General made it obvious that if he offered her employment and she turned it down, she would find herself down and out - and dead - in the nearest bomb crater. 

Mr. Mldklff continues, "When a sample from a suspected arson is examined by gas chromatography, additional peaks from materials present at the scene, as for example, plastics, in the sample may be observed. These additional peaks make difficult pattern recognition, normally relied upon for detectlon/ldentlfIcation of flammable liquids in the debris. Similar problems may be encountered in the analysis of samples from a bomb scene where chemicals in soil or debris from the bomb crater complicate the detection and identification of explosive components. 

A negative obstacle refers to terrain below the horizontal plane a terrain feature that presents a negative deflection relative to the horizontal plane. For a UGV, this can be safety-related as it prevents the UGVs continuation on its original path. Examples are depressions, canyons, creek beds, ditches, bomb craters, and so on. 

Upon the advent of high performance jet-powered aircraft, the fire bomb became obsolete. When deUvered at speeds approaching Mach one (345 m/s), the design characteristics were often grossly exceeded and many units broke up or functioned while stiU on the aircraft. DeHvery from high altitude created craters and deposited most of the flame agent payload in those craters. 

It had been a nice old town of splendors. Nearly every house had contained at least one artistic treasure, and most of the houses had looked like gingerbread — and then crumbled like gingerbread when the bombs fell. You did not have to stand on the ramparts to see the old city now, you could stand in a crater hole and see it in all its level ruination. 

Ever since the invention of NC and NG, attempts were made to apply them either by themselves or in mixtures for military purposes. Under the term uses for military purposes may be understood propellants in rifle, cannon, rocket and pyrotechnic ammunition booster and bursting charges in bombs, grenades, mines (land and sea), artillery projectiles, warheads of torpedoes and of rockets, etc military blasting operations, military cratering, military demolition, military excavation and production of antitank ditches... 

Cratering effect may be considered as a measure of the demolition effects of General Purpose Bombs (See in Vol 2, pp B227 R to B228-L).These effects are sometimes detd by the following equation 1) for commercial Dynamite... 

The United States first tested its nuclear bomb capabilities in a desert-region of New Mexico on July 16, 1945. When the atomic bomb was detonated, a huge crater formed. The heat from the plutonium-based bomb melted the desert sands, which then solidified, forming a glassy residue. The resulting mineral (pictured here) was named trinitite after the site (named Trinity) of the test. IMAGE COPYRIGHT 2009, STEVE SHOUP. USED UNDER LICENSE FROM SHUTTERSTOCK.COM,... 

The explosion bombed a mile-wide crater in the island site, and a radioactive cloud rose ten miles and reached a diameter... 

On February 29, 1993, a bombing in die parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City resulted in the deaths of five people and thousands of injuries. The bomb left a crater 200 by 100 feet wide and five stories deep. The World Trade Center was the second largest building in the world and houses 100,000 workers and visitors each day.
