Dateline Florida: Middle School built on actual bomb landfill.
 

The monkey bars? Actually, a thermonuclear device!

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Army engineers took soil samples Tuesday from a Central Florida middle school where at least 1,000 World War II-era bombs and munitions are believed to be buried underground.
Odyssey Middle School in Orange County, Fla., was constructed near property that used to be owned by the military, which used it as a practice range.
Recently, in an area located about 1,500 feet from the school on private property, an owner found four bombs and other munitions. Local 6 News reported that there were metal pieces of small firearms, high-explosive bombs and air-to-ground rockets, and more unknown pieces are likely in a nearby area.

Were these two somehow responsible?

Can this man warn the children in time?

I'm so happy I live in Central Florida. Maybe I'll go stomp around in really heavy boots at the nearest schoolyard. Ka-boom!

Unbelivable! Why doesn't the military keep track of these things? They don't care enough about the public to keep from dumping toxic waste on their land, now this! However, I'd be real surprised if they have burried a nuke anywhere.

Oh now that is just genius.:rolleyes:

Ya think? ;)

Oops

That's where my stash of weapons went!

Sorry!

Seems to be a theme this week. Also in the news: Army Corps of Engineers accidentally dumps WWI ordinance on public beach and wants the city to pay the removal costs.

I can understand about leaking chemicals into underground water supplies, but is any of it actually dangerous to the kids?

Older munitions become unstable as time goes on so yes they could be dangerous.
