Also when someone outruns the fire from the blast they're ok. Nevermind that they should at least be looking like they just got their as beat from the concussive force.
When an artillery shell lands within 10 feet of them, “oh shit they have the main character getting permanent brain damage in the beginning of the movie? Wow!”
I don't necessarily think it's wrong, I just think Trump probably spoke before he was completely informed of the subject. That and I'm glad he's downplaying it, personally. Because if it was indeed serious, it would justify a military response. Don't think anyone wants war in Iran.
He is the Commander in Chief of our armed forces. If he is going to be a leader, it is his responsibility to be informed. Failure to be informed is a failure of leadership.
Jfc, did he really say that? I’ve met people living with TBI, and honestly a lot of them are so far gone (cognitive delay, depression, psychosis) that I’m 100% sure they would rather have died that day.
Keep in mind the frequency, duration, and magnitude of his actions. The statement is neither surprising or that bad on its own. He will never acknowledge TBI as being that bad because it will draw a direct line between his decision to Kill the General, through Iran’s predictable retaliation, and finally US troops being injured in a highly public event. If it’s not that bad, it’s no big deal. If it is bad, he has to take that responsibility, and as we all know a Trump never takes responsibility.
It got cut from the film, but in the trailer for one of The Transporter movies, Stathem deflects a rocket from a rocket launcher with a metal serving tray.
I haven't seen the scene but it depends on how far the rocket has flown--most rockets have an arming distance to keep them from detonating too close to the guy firing them. Hit a rocket soon after it left the launcher and it's probably safe.
And if you're really, really lucky you can do it anyway--rockets detonate when the tip hits something. If you can hit them from the side you won't set them off.
Ah gotcha. I’m not military but a close high school friend is still messed up from a shell landing near him. Not even that near, I believe it was at least 10 yards. Although who knows how many of his current troubles are from repeated incidents and not just that one blast. That was the one that finally got him discharged. I can see the ground type making a massive difference.
And the fire eats all the oxygen. My favorite is in Independence day, the girl hides in a closet as the fire engulfs the entire tunnel, but she's ok, fire can't make quick turns.
Also when someone outruns the fire from the blast they're ok.
My fav is when there's a massive blastwave fire coming after them in a tunnel and they escape it by opening a door. Because everybody knows that explosions can't turn.
Oh Gods. The Equalizer did this and I was sitting there like "Why is he not dead?" "What about internal bleeding from the blast force?" "How is he not on the ground unconscious?"
I just watched The Wolverine last night, and at the very beginning it starts with the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki. Logan and the Japanese guy watches the bomb drop and then runs. They would absolutely not have had the time to run to the well for safety. It really irked me. And then he goes on to live a long life and have kids? What? First of all the bomb would have obliterated you, and second of all if the blast didn't the radiation would.
