Somehow I missed this when it happened three weeks ago. At the Miyazaki airport, a 250kg (500lb) bomb from WWII suddenly exploded, leaving a 7m (23ft) wide and 1m (3.2ft) deep crater in the middle of a taxiway, with asphalt fragments were scattered over a radius of 200m (656ft). No one was hurt, but it is a little alarming that just minutes before it exploded a plane with 93 people on it had passed over that exact spot.

It is kind of mind-blowing that 79 years after the end of the war, not only do bombs remain but that at least some as proven by this case evidently still remain active.
