blast_0110
Since the newspaper I work for doesn't use my photos, I thought I'd share these from an assignment I worked Wednesday. The FBI is leading training in explosives and other weapons of mass destruction this week at a salvage lot in Cocoa full of Cash for Clunkers vehicles. Above, shards of glass fly as FBI agents blow up a Pontiac so their trainees can process the scene. This photo gallery includes others from staff photographer Christina Stuart.
