Vehicle Bomb

Detroit, once known as the Motor City, is a city in the Great Lakes Region of the United States, the second largest city after Chicago, and also the fourteenth Metropolis area in the country.

Located near the Windsor metropolitan area in Canada, the Detroit - Windsor border is the second busiest international border crossing in North America. The first is the San Diego -Tijuana border between California and Mexico.

However, due to the impact of industrial relocation and globalization, the city's pillar industry, automobile manufacturing, has suffered an irreversible blow.

After World War World War II, the workers who were attracted to the area by the industrial recovery became a security problem due to unemployment and poverty. This Amgen affected the relocation of the wealthy class, leading to a decline in municipal tax revenue.

The union and pension systems left over from the 1960s, subsidies for low-income groups, and the large amount of infrastructure maintenance costs have all been increasing day by day.

With the city government's revenue decreasing and its expenditures increasing, the people living there can feel the obvious decline.

In Henry's memories before his time travel, the Detroit city government declared bankruptcy and underwent restructuring in 2013. In this Marvel Universe...

It seems unable to escape this fate, marching headlong down the road to bankruptcy.

Even in the 1990s, an era when the United States considered itself invincible and far ahead of the world in every aspect, Detroit still exuded an air of decay.

But today, what brought this stagnant city to life was not a good thing. A speeding car crashed through the crowd, destroying many road signs and parked vehicles, as well as other public and private property.

Several police cars were in pursuit, but no officer dared to fire at the out-of-control vehicle because screams of women and children could be heard coming from inside. Some said they were kidnapped hostages, while others said they were innocent family members of the driver.

In practice, a more effective method than shooting a criminal's vehicle to stop is the PIT Technique technique, or Pursuit Intervention Technique.

If you can catch up with the other vehicle, ram it with the front of your car towards the rear tires of the other vehicle. This will usually cause the criminal's vehicle to lose traction on its rear wheels, thus losing control and eventually crashing to a stop or overturning somewhere.

On the one hand, it is very difficult to force a vehicle to stop with a small handgun. Even if you hit the tire and cause it to blow out, it is not impossible for the driver to force it to stop.

Needless to say, hitting other parts of the body is risky. There are very few places where a single shot can stop a vehicle, and the chances of hitting either side while they are moving are even smaller.

On the other hand, it's also because a criminal who's been shot might not necessarily stop; nobody just grits their teeth and keeps driving. You have to kill someone before they might stop.

Once someone is killed, it's time to write a report again. So the police would rather destroy a car than kill someone.

Including methods like using nails to stop people, the mindset of United States police is not to minimize harm, but to quell the incident as quickly as possible. They believe that only by doing so can they truly control the situation and minimize losses.

The speeding car did not escape the traditional skills of United States police. The only saving grace was that it did not lose control to the point of rolling over; it only crashed into a fire hydrant on the side of the road.

The dented front of the car firmly wedged the fire hydrant spraying water upwards, and the out-of-control vehicle finally came to a stop.

Several police officers immediately got out of the police cars flanking them. They stepped forward, guns drawn, and shouted, "DPD, everyone in the cars, hands up, get out!"

The woman and child in the back seat opened the mangled car door and, ignoring their injuries, got out of the car. Police immediately rushed forward and subdued the unarmed woman and child, who were speaking rapidly in Russian. None of the police officers present understood a word they were saying.

They could only take the person away from the scene while they were being held captive.

The driver was trapped in the driver's seat by the deployed airbags, and the sudden impact rendered him unable to move.

The police officers ignored all of that, raising their guns and carefully approaching the car and the driver's seat, disregarding the water spraying from the fire hydrant; they didn't want to let the person escape.

"Put your hands where we can see you, get out of the car!" the nearest police officer shouted.

With difficulty, the driver reached his hand out from behind the partially deflated airbag and said in heavily accented Russia English, "I can't get out of the car. I can't leave the driver's seat. There's a bomb under the seat, and it will explode if I leave."

The police officer didn't believe the driver's story at all, and shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting! You know you've been driving recklessly and crashing into things all the way here!"

How many people were hit? Get out of the car!

"I just can't get out of the car. The accelerator just locks, the brakes are locked, I have no idea how to stop. I just want to get to the suburbs quickly and then figure out how to park."

In this era, the people most sensitive to the concept of 'car bombs' were not the United States, but the United Kingdom had learned their lesson from the 1RA (Irish Republican Army).

It wasn't until the occupation of Iraq that Middle East terrorists began using unconventional methods to retaliate against the United States, and only then did car bomb attacks gain widespread acceptance among United States.

Therefore, the driver's insistence was seen by the police as an excuse. His thick Russian accent further weighed on the white police officer's side of distrust.

With a gun in hand, the blind belief that he was invincible led the police to roughly pull the man out of the car. "I don't care what your situation is."

Get the hell off this bus!

The pressure plate was deliberately adjusted to be less sensitive to prevent the fuse from being triggered by bumps in the vehicle's motion.

However, the pressure difference from pulling a middle-aged white man off his seat still triggered the fuse, and the TNT placed under the driver's seat exploded with a deafening roar!

Car bomb attacks don't always explode into a fireball like in the movies. Basically, as long as the car's fuel doesn't ignite,...

Seeing a fireball isn't so easy.

Moreover, this bomb was not intentionally equipped with any lethal devices. Fragments from grenades, steel balls from landmines, etc., are added separately to enhance its lethality.

Only the explosive force of the TT, along with the blown-open seat cushion, knocked the driver, whose buttocks had just left the seat, and the policeman dragging him to the ground.

Even the police officers who were a little further away but still surrounding the wrecked vehicle were shaken back by the sheer force of the shockwave. Some were even so frightened that they fell to the ground.

At that moment, flames and black smoke billowed from under the hood of the car; the bomb explosion could not possibly have gone unscathed.

The police officers who were nearby were still experiencing a buzzing in their heads. Those a little further away, however, only reacted instantly to the shock.

They scrambled forward to drag the two people who had fallen at the center of the explosion away from the scene.

However, both the driver and their squad leader were bleeding from all seven orifices, their internal organs severely damaged by the force of the explosion. In comparison, the injuries caused by the flying debris and shrapnel, which were not intentionally designed, were minor.

The two people at the epicenter of the explosion were in critical condition, and the other police officers immediately called for an ambulance. Although they appeared to have no external injuries, they died of multiple organ failure upon arrival at the hospital. Their internal organs were almost completely mangled; even a miracle could not save them.

There are seven tasks remaining, and one accidental injury.
