So you're in the mine with Jack. The bad guys are taking care of but the dynamite is still burning. What would you do and why?

There is the puddle Bodine fell into, just douse the dynamite in there and the money is saved. After all, it is 5 million bucks.

Or would you, just like Mac throw it in with the money and throw the suitcase away in the corridor? After all, it's only money.

Or something else like kicking out the burning dynamite.

It's something that got me thinking. MacGyver obviously did the first thing that came up in his mind and reacted quickly, or he simply didn't want Jack to have the money and had his revenge for all the problems he caused. But you know the puddle is right there. Throw the dynamite in there and you can split the 5 million even. Currently I can't help but think: should've thrown it in the puddle, I would.

So, what would you do?

I probably would have just thrown it and ran. laugh.gif But among those three options, I'd use the puddle. I'd be worried that if it went off while I was trying to kick it out, I'd lose a leg at least. blink.gif I'm not blowing up five million bucks. I'd rather empty the suitcase first if I had to use it.

So yeah, the puddle sounds best.

Personally? Throw it into the water.

Thinking quickly, putting it into a suitcase of money wouldn't make much sense... unless MacGyver was thinking it would buffer the explosion to some extent. He is a bomb expert, so he may know something the viewers don't...

Regardless, it was just a plot device to make sure Jack was left with nothing. HOWEVER, as long as Jack had 75% of each bill, he can just exchange it at a bank.

I was thinking the same thing about the water in the mine when I watched the episode. He could have extinguished the fuse on the explosives and saved the money as well.

Good points, y'all.

Then again it is easy to be an "armchair quarterback" and say what one would do in a given situation, but in truth, one cannot say how they would truly act until they are in the situations themselves and have to respond in the spur of the moment.
