World War II Bomb Dropped by the U.S. Explodes at Japanese Airport (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/world-war-ii-bomb-dropped-by-u-s-explodes-at-japanese-airport/ar-AA1rAFMo?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=1884f92c87c448e497df64859c2a8e3f&ei=17)
An unexploded U.S. bomb from World War II suddenly detonated at Miyazaki Airport in southwestern Japan on Wednesday.
The blast caused significant disruption, as it left a large crater in a taxiway and forced the cancellation of more than 80 flights, but there were no casualties.
The bomb, which had remained buried at the site since the war, suddenly exploded although there were no aircraft nearby, according to Japan's Land and Transport Ministry.
Officials have confirmed that the blast was caused by a 500-pound U.S. bomb but they assured the public that there is now no cause for concern.
Makes you wonder how many unexploded bombs and landmines there are across Europe and in places like Japan. We just built roads over them.
