WW2 bomb goes off in German corn field

[CtownCyclone]

There was a farmer that hit a natural gas line in IL a couple of years ago. Farmer was putting in a tile line and had a rep for the gas line company there to make sure they were all clear. I guess the tiling machine hit something, but the gas rep said that it was a rock or something and put tractor on front of the machine to help pull it through, unfortunately it was the gas line and the rep, farmer and the farmer's son perished in the explosion.

This one?

Didn't do a one-call to locate the line.

Field just got aerated... Good for the microbes and dirt and stuff.

Won't generally recommend aerating deep into the C horizon.

Anyone else see this ? Crazy after this long it goes off

Not to be judgmental, but is that really the crew and how they are equipped to investigate near century old munitions?

Yo OP, that's a barley field, not corn.

It's a British/European thing. The Brits use the term "corn" to mean "grain" not "maize".

I was conducting a search in the PNW a few years back. Ran across a individual who just got his PhD in Biology from Oregon St. For his thesis, he and a professor found a microbe that will basically eat dynamite.

He said there is a catalog of thousand of un-exploded dynamite bundles in mines throughout the Western US. This basically renders a site unusable unless it can be removed or re-mediated.

That's a European term of any "corn producing (kernel)" crop. Must be link out there.
