GoingAttendant1: What kind of booby traps were left in shoes? I’ve never herd of such a thing

das6992: Do we have more story to this? Did he survive? He doesn’t look too badly injured

GirlNextDoor_24: Did the boy lose his arm? I can’t tell.

paardenlullen: OP, just out of curiosity, what’s the source of this image and caption?

drewson: Any more details on the booby trap? Not to be insensitive in the least, but unless the kid got out of it, it doesn’t look like it did it’s job very well.

fadaboutyou: Just never ending pain, suffering and death. Rinse and repeat.

Tobias20: What’s a booby trap?
