"slipped and fell" on the two-inch-wide artillery shell.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.....

Isn’t the usual protocol to place the explosive in an explosion proof container and attempt to detonate it?

Up until recently most ED’S had trophy boards of unusual things removed from people. Either swallowed or inserted. Recently it was deemed not politically correct and taken down with great shame and apologies

This happens when one’s butt is not properly rifled.

Um, so the 1 thing that occurred to me that nobody has yet brought up is the question...

If the guy was wearing pants, how did it get up there without tearing his pants to shreds? The only way I can think of that the shell got up that far that he’d need help was if he was already naked from the waist down.

And what was he doing walking around naked around artillery shells?

Something tells me I really don’t want to know.

—”the EOD confirmed that the shell was “not live”
Um, how?”

By viewing the X-rays via zoom.

Not to worry, they had a newer iPhone with a high res screen.
