A few surprises left from the world war

Yesterday the entire university was evacuated because they unearthed a 500kg bomb at a nearby construction site. Today they found another, this time a nice little 1000kg one. Everyone was evacuated in a 2km radius.

Jehesus that's scary. Good that nobody accidently hit them with anything or something like that.

 

I'd personally feel pretty awesome. All the times I may have tripped on campus, any time I dropped something heavy, or just because something may have corroded inside the warhead, I could have died...but I didn't.

 

Yeah, go hard or go home.

 

Or, as Xz did it in CN, go home hard.

 

Depending on how you acted that night, it could happen even if you're not single.

 

Frigo: Has the source of the bombs been released yet?
ie: Were they Russian, German, British, American, someone else....?

 

American made from what I hear, but I find it highly irrelevant.

 

True - but I was curious.

 

Figures. We do've a bit of a tendancy to leave explosives laying around... and weapons. I'm just glad nobody got hurt. That could've easily been a catatrosphe.

 

I found it interesting reading about all the nuclear weapons (mostly Soviet) that have gone missing or were dumped into the ocean since the 1950's. It's just a shame that nobody (with the possible exception of Israel) has planes loaded with nukes flying around anymore.

 

I believe the United States still has a whole network of nuclear bombers flying all around the world, in case fast response is required.

 

I don't know why we bothered with that. It's not like we're easily capable of massive destruction from under the sea.

actually, that article has a link to the reason why: nuclear triad
