Flip out when they find a .22lr round on the street, but you can dig your own 8k lb bombs right in your backyard

If you rack the video it is pretty interesting how the pressure/shock wave breaks them. Top left window breaks, Then next few frames the right top. Next few frames, Bottom left, pause, next few frames then the bottom right window. |

Thanks for sharing, you hear of this happening but still surprising to hear.
I visited Exeter a few years ago - they have WWII tunnels you can tour to see where they hid during air raids. I'm over 6 feet tall and it was cramped for me - you could also hear cars driving overhead so not terribly deep underground, I wonder what protection they would have provided. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Staggering how much ordnance was dropped on England: http://bombsight.org/#10/51.5002/-0.0941 It wasn't the only thing. My dad told me stories ... after air raids he and a friend used to go walking down the street looking for the empty cases from the aircraft machine guns lying on the street. From time to time, they would find unfired rounds - where guns had jammed and been cleared, ejecting a few rounds in the process. Their best find was a 1" cannon shell (unfired). They took it home, and used a vice to pull the projectile. Then propped the case up with a few bricks, and lit a fire underneath it. A few minutes later there what a huge bang that rattled the windows. They went outside (as did all the neighbors) and looked innocently around - what on earth was that??? They noticed that all the neighbors were looking at them. The next door neighbor just pointed upwards - there was a huge, blue, smoke-ring rising gently above the house. |

A robot on tracks with a drill to open up the shell, with running water could alow the explosives to be removed.
Or straping it and use a helicopter with a very long cable to lift it up and away to drop into the deep ocean away from underwater cables and pipelines. |
