They showed the video on the news this morning; Sgt. Smith said his toast and without missing a beat, said "fire in the hole" in a calm manner (as only an explosives expert could). As soon as he said that, a huge fireball erupted in the background-AWESOME!
Although he had to miss the wedding, if anything was "the next best thing to being there", this was it. I got goosebumps watching it!

Thanks for the post, BC.
It was a special night for the new Mr. and Mrs.William Michael Smith. They were married in Dunmore Saturday night. But what made the night really special, was the surprise wedding gift from Baghdad...

"fire in the hole" I found this phrase useful on my wedding night as well.

We also have a Render Safe Procedure called "Drill and Inject", this would also be appropriate.
