New York police used an incredibly strong chamber to safely move an undetonated
explosive Saturday night (Sept. 16), shortly after one explosion rocked New York City's Chelsea neighborhood, news sources reported.
But what exactly is this device, known as a total containment vessel (TCV), and how does it protect people from explosives?

The company provides explosives detection, identification, containment and mitigation solutions.
