Whay wasn't any earplugs used during the toilet bomb scene?


A severe explosion going off with yourself and your police partner in the middle would render some serious damage to your hearing, so I would like to believe that they took this into consideration before leaping into the tub, but apparently not. Input?

And the police could of clamp down the toilet seat with concrete or glue and Also the blast would of taken out the tub as well but its just a movie

No, the blast wouldn't have taken out the tub. The toilet would have been obliterated, but the cast-iron tub would remain intact. The entire scene was tested on Mythbusters, and the cast-iron tub survived the blast intact.
