Poem for the occasion:

Dancing on landmines
Is such a great fun
While hopped out on drugs
There in the sun

Every so often
An explosive goes off
Someone loses a leg
But the rest of us scoff

We're so high we don't notice
the music is loud
Even if one of us
Turns into a cloud

"Dance Dance Revolution" except you might step on an old landmine? 😟

@benroyce I live in Eastern England which was on the WW2 frontline.

We are *still* regularly unearthing #UXO everywhere especially when there is construction work or when folk are exploring the coast, places get evacuated and EOD (Explosives Ordnance Disposal) has to make the area safe, all this 80 years later in supposed peacetime and there's a non-zero change war in Europe will escalate in the remainder of my lifetime..

β€œAn unexploded U.S. bomb from World War II that had been buried at a Japanese airport exploded Wednesday, causing a large crater in a taxiway and the cancellation of more than 80 flights, Japanese officials said.”

No aircraft or people were nearby and no one was injured. In true Japanese fashion, the taxiway is already repaired and back open.

A US bomb from World War II explodes at a Japanese airport, causing a large crater in a taxiway

An unexploded U.S. bomb from World War II that had been buried at a Japanese airport has exploded, causing a large crater in a taxiway and the cancellation of more than 80 flights but no injuries. Japanese officials say there were no aircraft nearby when the bomb exploded Wednesday at Miyazaki Airport in southwestern Japan. The airport was built in 1943 as a former Imperial Japanese Navy flight training field from which some kamikaze pilots took off on suicide attack missions. Several unexploded U.S. bombs have been unearthed in the area. The cause of the detonation is under investigation.

The "most bombed per capita" people in the world are "defenseless peasants" in the 1970s words of #ChomskyAndHerman in #PEHR #AfterTheCataclysm.. #SubsistenceFarmers, I wonder when this term came into use? I'm guessing after the 70s...

> The Plain of Jars on the Xieng Khouang Plateau is a major cultural heritage site, now recognized by UNESCO. According to UNESCO, #UnexplodedMilitaryOrdinance (UXO) still contaminates 25 percent of the area of Xieng Khouang province, producing a β€œconstant threat” to the personal safety of its 200,000 people. Needless to say, the presence of #UXO crimps economic development of the province.
