He probably just walks away without looking back, now.
And he has cool sunglasses.

That type of bomb sends out shrapnel at 15,000 ft/sec, for 12 to 15 blocks, unless it hits something first. Walking away with your back to it, all cool and shit, is not a smart move.

Just imagine if Joe Berti were Middle Eastern, the dude would be in for all sorts of questioning right about now...

You bring up a good point. I wonder what the protocol is if you hear an explosion. I mean, it would all be happening so fast and it's not like you could get away.
I guess duck and cover, as fast as you can? |

Heck, we call that "Afterburner rocket booster" here.
Duck and cover? Well, it's probably best to try it, but if there is shrapnel doing 15,000 feet per second, by the time you've heard the boom and started to react, the shrapnel has already done it's damage. Try it, though, because the blast might be a lot slower, there might be bigger projectiles on (longer) high parabolic trajectories, there could be ricochets, and there might be a slower moving blast/fireball. So I suppose duck and cover is a good thing to do. However, I have no intention of living my cozy civilian life with a paramilitary state of mind. I refuse to walk around with a constant duck-and-cover reflex in my mind. If I hear a BANG I'll probably jump three feet, then look around to see what it was, and (I hope) go towards it to see if I can help anyone.

We have guys like that in the Army, sometimes I ride in the same vehicle as they do. Just to show my support.

Well, in the army, BOOOOM is often followed by pow! pow! pow! so ducking at BOOOM is probably a good idea.
