Special Ops Bomb Tech Rates 11 Bomb Disposals in Movies and TV | How Real Is It? | Insider

Master EOD Technician Jay Ly rates bomb disposal scenes in movies and television for realism.

Ly looks at common explosives used in combat throughout history, from the improvised explosive device in "The Hurt Locker" (2008), starring Jeremy Renner; to World War II bombs in "M*A*S*H" S1E20 (1973) and "Rambo" (2008), starring Sylvester Stallone. Ly explains the plausibility of disarming nuclear weapons in "Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One" (2023), with Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg; the detonation of the nuclear warhead in "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012), with Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway; and the underwater explosive in "The Abyss" (1989). Ly also breaks down various tools and procedures used in explosive ordnance disposal, including using a robot for bomb detection in "Bluestone 42" S1E1 (2013), the bomb squad kit in "S.W.A.T." S5E13 (2022); and the wire cutters used in "SEAL Team" S2E1 (2018). Additionally, Ly looks at the realism of communication systems and render safe procedures used in "Archer" S1E7 (2010) and "Speed" (1994), starring Keanu Reeves.

Ly is a former Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician for the US Navy, with 13 years of experience in explosive ordnance disposal. He did four combat deployments, including three to Afghanistan and a subsequent deployment to Bahrain. Ly is the founder and president of Golden Compass, a leadership and personal finance coaching company. He is also the Community Engagement Liaison of Navy Special Operations Foundation.
