Women washed unexploded bomb in kitchen sink

A woman who discovered an unexploded World War II bomb in her garden terrified her husband by washing it in the kitchen sink.

Carole Longhorn, 65, took a number of unusual safety stops after discovering the explosive, including hitting it with a spade, before bomb disposal took it away and destroyed it.

I was left speechless when I read this how can someone be so freaking stupid, if you were gardening and dug up a shell-shaped metal object obviously the first thing you would do is smack it with a spade and bring it in the house, that’s bomb disposal 101.

I would love to hear Mrs Longhorn explain her thought process, because after bringing the bomb in the house she washed it up, how did that go, let’s see plates check, bowls check, cups check, cutlery check, unexploded bomb check.

When the bomb disposal team arrived what did she say, the bomb is back outside the grandkids are playing with it.

After it was taken away it was discovered that the bomb was infact still active, so Mrs Longhorn can count herself extremely lucky.


What will she do next find some Yellowcake uranium and serve it to her friends with a pot of tea! On the basis of this story I wouldn’t put it past her.
