When missiles strike, someone has to deal with the unexploded remnants. This episode explores the world of Israeli sappers and bomb disposal teams, from their rigorous training pipelines to the psychological profile of someone who chooses to face explosives daily. We examine how military and police units coordinate to handle everything from Iranian cluster submunitions to suspicious bags on public transit, and discuss the immense mental toll of a job where a single mistake is fatal.
