1. THE BLASTER

When everyday people conjure up an image of a "blaster", most visualize the old-time movie version: a dirty, snaggle- toothed, renegade hillbilly in ragtag clothing, yelling at the top of his lungs as he thrusts down the plunger of an old rack-bar detonator.

Every major "explosive-demolition specialist" that we work with is happily married, and no less than five of the top U.S. companies employ multi-generational family members—fathers, mothers, sons, daughters—as an integral part of their workforce. (Also, as far as we’ve seen they speak in complete sentences and wear very nice clothing!).
