    Old WW2 Historic or the new and a huge bomb for this Island I wonder which it is.
    The item found was said to be “historic in nature”.

    I bet it's a false flag. One of the train drivers was after sleeping out his shift because of a raging hangover so he got his mate to lob a box of dynamite under one of the arches to create a diversion.

    The Defence Forces have said that the items were old commercial explosives that would have been used by railway stations years ago.

    Cant see why they would turn up out of the blue now unless someone wanted the afternoon off work

    Probably renovations.

    We're called out regularly for old explosives, mostly dating back to 1916-1922 and usually old Mills bombs, although old artillery bombs show up too.

    You'd be surprised at the amount of things things are found in old houses when they're being renovated after many years of neglect.

    The canals have regular finds too, usually when there's works or dredging being carried out. People just chucked their old bombs into the canals when they were done with killing Brits/Black and Tans.

    What are you on about? Why would I be gutted? I’m not part of any crowd.
    If this incident had anything to do with Islamic terrorism, which I didn’t for a second think it did, it would be Islamic terrorists I would be directing my ire towards. Not “de muzzies”
    What a dumb comment from you. Well done.

    It would have been pretty stupid to mention "you know what" in this case though.

    Modern terrorists don't leave bombs lying around. Be that Islamic fascists or Nazis, they tend to just arrive on site and start shooting/exploding without warning.

    So any bomb scare these days is usually either unexploded ordanance or someone who forgot their bag.

    And you wonder why people have issues with your arguments appearing prejudiced?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    They’re now saying it’s about 40 years old which dates it to the 70s - I’m thinking it might be related to the Troubles.

    It’s unbelievable that 13 sticks of TNT just sat there undisturbed all that time.

    Probably left over from Nelson's pillar job in 66.



    Joke at that time: What's the difference between Nelson ans Napoleon.

    Napoleon was Bonaparte and Nelson was Blown Apart :p

    =(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=

    They're still digging up massive WW2 era bombs in Germany and Britain on building excavations and the odd bit of estuary dredging.

    Not what you think I meant. I’m trying to make a point in threads like these.
    You’re allowed to speculate on literally anything else. Can’t be going hurting terrorists feelings now...

    The Ariana Grande bombing thread literally had ‘no speculation’ in the thread title. Yet everyone was speculating about giant balloons popping, speakers blowing, gas explosion etc. Any mention of poor old ISIS getting the blame and it’s “How dare you!!!”
