The bomb


They *beep* up bad... what you usually do is either move it gently so the liquid doesn't float around. If that is not possible, you cover it with something heavy to direct the blast the direction you want it.

On top of it all, they had the advantage of having a heavy wall between the bomb and the weight. The base of the flagpole was raised over the bomb with 3m of sand between. He chose to stand up for some reason, instead of lying down.

They made so many mistakes and that got him killed.

He wasn't standing up, dimwad. He was kneeling the entire time. And he was not an effing bomb tech. Nor was Katrine. His focus was on saving his son, not defusing the bomb. And none of your suggestions matter because an observing Sørensen could (and did) remotely trigger the device before any serious blast mitigation could be implemented. You seem to have all the "right" answers from your mom's basement. I'd like to see you in the same situation.

With Katrine and Johan clear, his best option would have been to quickly roll off the flagpole base and get as low to the ground as possible opposite the bomb. Yes, the sand-filled structure would have absorbed most of the concussive wave. But who's to say that was the only point of explosion. There could have been Semtex under the scale.

You seem to have all the "right" answers yourself. There wasn't any Semtex under the scale so that whole speculation is pointless.

A fan of the "Den som dræber"-series myself but this last film in the series was a bit stupid at times. Starting from the insane massacre on the bus where afterwards the police let the victims sit uncovered in downtown Copenhagen for all of Denmark to see, and not a single media outlet showed up to cover one of the worst mass shootings in Danish history. Shortly after the police let one police officer and one psychologist be alone in the recently discovered apartment of the only suspect in a terrorist-style mass murder. Sorry, I was entertained but the overall film was still surprisingly stupid compared to most modern Danish crime films.
