2001 Chevy Blazer hood latch

Sometimes the plastic handle will break, but the steel cable is still there. If the cable is still there, try grabbing it with a pair of vice-grips and pull. It might help to have a helper standing at the end of the hood, they can pop the hood wih the palm of their hand, in the area of the release mechanism as you pull on the cable. If there is no cable to grab, you may need to remove the grill, see if you can reach the release mechanism that way.
