Baghdad IED: Saving Comrades While at Death's Door | TEA & MEDALS

Captain Pete Norton was used to dealing with explosives. By the time he deployed to Iraq, he had spent more than 20 years working in bomb disposal. He was so well known for his cool head and unflappable nature he was given the nickname “Perfect Pete”.

But one night investigating the scene of a devastating IED attack outside Baghdad would change his life forever.

Pete was checking for other devices when he triggered a secondary IED, it functioned and almost killed him. But while he fought for his own life, he also fought for the safety of his team, giving them vital life-saving instructions and refusing to be evacuated until he was sure that everyone understood the danger.

Darren talks to Pete and two of his multinational team members, Nick and Chris from the FBI about the blast and how it has bound them together for the rest of their lives.
