Several years ago a local shrimper brought up a 500 lb bomb in his nets. He dumped it into his deck and ambled back into port, passing several large chemical plants and their bulk loading terminals/storage tank. Once moored, he posed for several pictures sitting on it, some with a toddler relative.

Authorities discovered his catch because he bragged about it to a guy filling up a car adjacent to him at a gas station later that evening. Fortunately that guy was an off-duty LEO.

EOD was dispatched from Ft. Good and the bomb was detonated about 3 means from my house. Felt like the house leapt a foot of the ground. Would have been less stressful had they given a little advanced notice.
