A method and inhibitor are provided for substantially diminishing the deleterious effects of a bomb blast such as is commonplace with terrorist activities. A generally flexible container filled with a liquid, generally water, is shaped and adapted to substantially cover a bomb to obscure substantially all open spaces from the bomb. The water serves to absorb a large proportion of the energy of the bomb blast and therefore reduces the most dangerous effects of bombs namely that of secondary shrapnel which generally does the most damage and the container and water prevent, to a substantial extent, any primary shrapnel or other debris from being blown out with substantial force. The invention also provides special containers of various different designs as well as a method of manufacturing such containers which are preferably of a resilient nature.

A method of diminishing the deleterious effects of a bomb comprising locating a closed, frangible container of a size and shape to cover said bomb when filled with non-flammable liquid said container being formed with a plurality of closed compartments for said liquid with a first compartment forming a closed top of the inhibitor and a second compartment thereunder extending around at least a part of the periphery of the upper compartment and forming a supporting sidewall of said container; each of said compartment being made of a sheet material joined together at seams to define the closed container, said container being located relative to a bomb so as to substantially cover same and substantially obscure the bomb from all surrounding open spaces.
