Wolfson explained that the time between the detonation of the charge and the gas jet striking the box would be half a millisecond. This could disable the bomb by severing the fusing mechanisms the technicians could see in the top box from the explosives they believed filled the lower box. A precisely formed piece of plastic explosive encased in a brass jacket, it would create two explosive planes of hot gas collapsing on one another to form a fine jet: a pyrotechnic cutting tool. Finally, Leonard Wolfson, a civilian consultant to the Navy, suggested using more explosives to defeat the bomb, with a linear shaped charge. Pick it up and carry it to a nearby golf course. They threw out every idea they could come up with. on Wednesday, the experts gathered in the Sahara command post for a roundtable meeting.
