Booby trap - after
This is a picture of a booby trap I found in Vietnam. I was a point man, although I was not walking point when I found this one. We just blew it up with a ball of C-4. There is another picture in this series of the before view.
This second picture shows what the booby trap looked like after we blew up the booby trap. Notice how all of the vegetation was blown away by the force of the explosion?
The crater you see was created when the booby trapped artillery round exploded on the top of a hill. Hill tops usually have very little dirt and have very rocky soil. The crater would have been much deeper if the artillery round had exploded on level ground.
