re: A US bomb exploded at Tokyo airport, no causalities. Never forget Pearl Harbor.

I lived in Okinawa for a few years as a kid. They used to run this PSA on the one TV channel we had where a kid finds an unexploded grenade and tosses it up in the air and catches it a few air. Then we hear a “bang” and the screen goes to black with white letters on the screen saying, “if you find explosives, call the base EDO office”. I think they even mentioned it in school a couple of times…it was kind of a big safety thing.

We deployed so much ordinance during WWII that I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often.

Yeah. Seems like a500 pounder would do more damage

It was past the expiration date?

Never forget the USS Liberty. 90% don't even know about it

what does the unprovoked attack by Israel have to do with an 80-year-old bomb exploding in Japan? what am I missing?

We had to evacuate our place last Saturday in Germany due to an unexploded US bomb. It happens more often than you would expect.
