Poem for the occasion:
Dancing on landmines
Is such a great fun
While hopped out on drugs
There in the sunEvery so often
An explosive goes off
Someone loses a leg
But the rest of us scoffWe're so high we don't notice
the music is loud
Even if one of us
Turns into a cloud -
"Dance Dance Revolution" except you might step on an old landmine? π

@benroyce I live in Eastern England which was on the WW2 frontline.
We are *still* regularly unearthing #UXO everywhere especially when there is construction work or when folk are exploring the coast, places get evacuated and EOD (Explosives Ordnance Disposal) has to make the area safe, all this 80 years later in supposed peacetime and there's a non-zero change war in Europe will escalate in the remainder of my lifetime..

βAn unexploded U.S. bomb from World War II that had been buried at a Japanese airport exploded Wednesday, causing a large crater in a taxiway and the cancellation of more than 80 flights, Japanese officials said.β
No aircraft or people were nearby and no one was injured. In true Japanese fashion, the taxiway is already repaired and back open.

> The Plain of Jars on the Xieng Khouang Plateau is a major cultural heritage site, now recognized by UNESCO. According to UNESCO, #UnexplodedMilitaryOrdinance (UXO) still contaminates 25 percent of the area of Xieng Khouang province, producing a βconstant threatβ to the personal safety of its 200,000 people. Needless to say, the presence of #UXO crimps economic development of the province.

Another very notable video circulating this week has been of unexploded bombs. To civilians these 500lb bombs are extremely dangerous. To the resistance these bombs are a never ending source of material needed to continue the fight.

The reality for decades to come for #ukraine.
People hiking in the woods for "obscene pleasure" (mushrooms) finding unexploded ordnance, remains of war, weapons and even corpses.

The US Army Corps of Engineers, which is leading the remediation effort, has been plagued by shoddy work & multiple regulatory disputes, according to a Honolulu Star-Advertiser/ProPublica investigation. In one case, after state regulators raised concerns, the Corps rebid a contract to assess the unexploded bombs risk on the largest Native parcel in the region, prolonging a process that is years behind schedule.
