no.

Agreed.

And I bet within a few more posts, this will somehow be blamed on Bush.

I blame Bush.

Clearly you are mistaken. It was Bush Sr., who was a Navy pilot in WWII

that's still bush isn't it?

This would've been interesting if it turned out to be a third nuke.

Would have been interesting if it was a third nuke... but the real question is why is everybody believing news from a freakin' email? Show me a link to CNN or something stamped with AP and then I'll care.

Happens all the time. I was a Boy Scout when I lived in Berlin, and we found unexploded WWII bombs/grenades all the time on scouting trips in the woods. There was a simple proceedure of calling the Military Police to take care of it. No one got hurt.

Hitler Youth? 😉

In France, people still die every year from unexploded ordnance from WWl. Not WWll, WWl. :shocked:

saw a tv program about that. It runs on discovery channel once or twice a year

this happens a quite often in Europe too, we dropped so many damn bombs over there.

Just google a phrase in the article and you'll find it.

Example

I lived in Guam for a while, and they're still finding WW2 bombs & shells there too. Once heard on the news about a construction worker that saw something in the tailings off the side of a bulldozer blade, as it was scraping the ground down flat, and walked over to see what it was. He figured this object was important, so picked it up, and set if off to the side, by a shed, thinking he'd tell the supervisor about it, and forgot to do so until the next morning when he came back to work, and saw it sitting there. Needless to say, everyone got a bit upset, they called the cops, who evacuated the immediate area, and they called in the USAF bomb squad guys to get rid of it (they usually drop some big ol' concrete rings around it, then wire it and explode it in place....all the force of the explosion goes straight up, instead of out, and you don't have to worry about transporting a potentially deadly 60 year old bomb).

In Guam, they've got it set up so the Navy UDT guys take care of the south end of the island, and the USAF bomb squad takes care of the north end. They expect to keep finding this stuff for some time to come.

The evacuation came after a diver found 59 unexploded shells in waters near Tokyo.

Troops defuse the bombs and often dispose of them at sea.

Anyone see a connection here people?

LOL, good one

Happens every so often, they found one over 10 years ago near my great-grandparent's house (my great uncle lives there and the house itself is about 200years old, it's front gate got destroyed when a bomb landed on top of it and didn't explode during the war) and the hospital that my father worked at a couple years ago.

Pretty standard, exacuate the area, diffuse the bomb and they cart it away, ususally on takes a couple of hours.

Do U.S. bombs have MADE IN U.S.A. printed on them?

This is one of those stories that doesn't need much confirmation. If (as someone apparently misread) they thought it was a nuke, then yes, I'd want a CNN link. But this happens daily in Europe and Asia, all from ordinance from WW1 and WW2.

Here are some examples (since you must not know how Google works🙂

WWII bomb clearance may need 150 years
Japanese bombs in China
World War I weapons in Europe

i'm sure there are thousands of unexploded bombs over there, we did drop quite a few.

I think this is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard someone say on AT.

I blame Bush! If we had attacked Japan instead of wasting our time in Iraq, they never would have found this bomb.

*stupid double post*

Seriously, though, this is interesting. It shows how far reaching the effects of war can be.

What is amazing to me is that people in Atlanta still find unexploded ordnance from the Civil War. I haven't seen a news story about it in a while, but when I lived there in 1998 someone was excavating to make a building foundation, and they found a whole bunch of shells. Apparently they are just as dangerous today as they were over 100 years ago.
