Police said the bomb was nearly 5 feet in length and weighed about 1,000 pounds.

"Why, that could be a thousand pound bomb!"

Despite the Korean War which resulted in over 2 million Chinese casualties, the cold war, and the current animosities, the Chinese people had and continue to have an affection and a sense of gratitude for the American effort and sacrifices that defeated Japan. Also after WW II, HoChi Minh and the independence leaders of Vietnam warmly welcomed the American military that entered Vietnam after Japan’s surrender and apparantly had great respect and admiration for the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence’
Funny how things eventually turned out.

Some years ago, I was the S-3 (Operations Officer) for a Marine artillery battalion training at 29 Palms California. When I returned to our Headquarters position out in the desert, I saw the shape of a bomb slightly visible in the center of our position.

I brought this to the attention of our Headquarters Battery commander and after we cleared some sand away from it, he said "it's only a blue bomb (a training bomb) - don't worry about it".

I cleared a little more sand and I exposed the side fuze and the olive green paint of a live 2,000 pound Mk 84 bomb and once the battalion commander saw this, we evacuated the whole battery to about a mile away and EOD detonated the thing in place. You could easily hide a HUMMWV in that crater!

If it were in Tennessee, some metal detectorist would find it, dig it up, take it home, and display it on the hearth in front of his fireplace.

It’s probably a bit too large for one of the kids to take it to school for show and tell.

In Hong Kong, they’ll probably handle it a bit differently.

Nothing to worry about—obviously, it’s a dud.
