BOOM!

The Five-0 Explosion List

from Scott Inglewolf

Besides falling off a cliff of building, getting blasted explosion style is another common Five-0 "violent way to die" cause of death.  There were plenty of ka-boom moments, some with casualties, others without, and others where the threat of a big ka-boom amounted to a dud.

Danno diffused three bombs, McGarrett one - well two if you count pressing the garage door opener in A Hawaiian Nightmare.  I left out the bogus bomb blast in Welcome to  Our Branch Office and the lame-o looking runway in Death's Name is SAM.  As always I may have left some titles out, mot likely the last two and a half seasons that I find to unmemorable to memorize.  Scott
