Lurking Dangers
« on: July 04, 2019, 12:32:48 AM »
Hello,

I know we've had some articles on this subject before but thought I'd share this one:
    https://www.citylab.com/life/2019/06/germany-world-war-ii-bombs-berlin-brandenburg-construction/590755/
as it had some interesting data in it such as:
- Brandenburg, a suburb of Berlin, recovered 296 tons of ordnance in 2018 alone.
- Chemical detonators occasionally cause a bomb to just explode by itself with age
Best,
Carl

It would certainly make you think twice about digging up the back yard for a vegetable garden.
