You detonate it where it is of course. I'll bet they wish they had tried to deactivate it after this happened. They're saying that some of the surrounding buildings were structurally damaged and may need to come down. Just imagine hundreds of those things falling in a single night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BQIE00_3o8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQy7QMDDrOA Awards

Munitions from WW1 are still coming to the surface in France on the old battlefields. It used to be the case that the farmers had to have special insurance for their livestock to cover the loss of those that trod on shells etc that detonated. My wife's family found a landmine on the local beach here, some years go, and a 500lb bomb was dredged up in Dover Harbour last month. An enduring childhood memory is of seeing a WW2 vintage sea mine bobbing up and down just off the beach at Seabrook Point! But, consider this... Just off the North Kent coast, in the Thames Estuary, lies the wreck of the liberty ship SS Richard Montgomery. It contains an estimate 1400 tonnes of unexploded ordnance. If that goes up, every window in the town of Sheerness would break and they reckon a wall of water sixteen feet high would be propelled out from the site! Mad Boris, the London Mayor, wants to build an airport nearby... See: http://www.dft.gov.u...dmontgomery.htm PS: I once had a guy walk into my police station and place a rusty (live!) hand grenade on the desk in front of me! He'd dug it up in his back garden, put it in the boot (trunk) of his car and driven through the centre of town to bring it to me. During the drive, it had been rolling about in there... I was pleased to see the Army guys turn up to take that away! Edited August 30, 2012 by DEEJAYKEG GorillaXI 1 Awards
