Ping!
It took 60 years to find that one. Now, think about how long it's going to take to find all the WMD and HE in Iraq where people were actually trying to hide the stuff.
Bush's fault for bombing civilians!
It was found 10 meters underground? In a crop field? WTF? Just how deep does this farmer plant his seed?
Made in America. Tested in Japan.
It's a US ordinance, so what's that in inches; and do the japs have to do the math to convert 1ton to metric?
The owner of the land plot reported the bomb to the municipal government of Nishitokyo in April, and the GSDF provided an emergency operation June 10.
Reported in April, disposal in June. Quite the emergency operation. Good thing the Fire Department doesn't use the same time schedule.
At the request of the authorities, about 3,100 households within a 500-meter radius were evacuated
Holy cow, talk about your high density housing. We don't have that many households in our county.
According to Nishitokyo city officials, the area suffered intense bombings by the U.S. military due to a now-defunct local factory of Nakajima Aircraft Industries Ltd. which produced airplane engines during the war.
My guess, the bombing had something to do with the 'now-defunct' status of the plant.
Nakajima Aircraft is the predecessor of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., the maker of Subaru cars.
At least the last laugh is on us.
Karl Rove leaked the bombs weight!
Amelican wolkmaship!
