[svandamme]

here's a fun one
Mesen (Messine) , some great mind had the idea to tunnel under no man's land, and pile up tons and tons of HE

they built 22 of these mines
blew up 19 of those once for a big push for a total of 455 tons of ammonal explosives (one was deactivated by the germans)
all in all it was effective

the war ended
2 mines unaccounted for

ones of those mines blew in the 1955 ignited by lightening
no deaths resulted


one of those mines, is still in the ground
near a village, buildings on top of em
nobody dares to even think about even inspecting it
i'm nor talking 1 2000 lbs bomb
or even 1 tall boy

i'm talking 20 tons + worth of 90 year old explosives
