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.
