Members of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams are the Army’s preeminent tactical and technical explosives experts.

They deal with all types of bombs, including Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) that have become a huge threat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So what's it like to defuse and detonate bombs for a living?
