A very hard-working and highly educated scientist has made a breakthrough with his new project. It is expected that his new device will have a huge impact on many people’s lives. As you can imagine, he is very excited.
This is a very clever chap. He is an engineer. He is an expert in rocket propulsion, aerodynamics, chemistry, physics, and fluid flow. His particular specialty is delivering substances that decompose rapidly under certain conditions and produce gases which expand by heat of reaction.
Today he has made a breakthrough by creating a device that will be delivered to, and will change the lives of women and children living in the most remote areas of the world.
But not for the better……because this new hi-tech device is called a PFM-1 and if a child or mother steps on it, the resulting explosion neatly removes their leg from the knee down. If they are lucky they get to keep the other one.
A lot of effort has gone into the science of maiming people using landmines and it takes a very special organisation to stop this horror.
I recently had the privilege of meeting Phil Halford who is one of MAG’s bomb disposal experts. This is a guy who works inside the real ‘Hurt Locker’.
It is estimated that during Phil’s time with MAG they have removed over one million devices, all of which were designed to change people’s lives in the most horrific ways possible.
When people read this, they don’t need to ask me why I decided to support MAG by taking part in a sponsored bike ride and by raising their profile within the North West business community. I hope you will do the same.
