A major exercise is underway in the Solomon Islands to map the locations of unexploded ordnances from World War II. The HALO Trust, an organisation specialising in removing land mines, has deployed teams across the country. It comes after 202 bombs were recently removed from underneath a school in Honiara. “Just yesterday, I was on an island near Munda where we found seven old anti-aircraft weapons,” said HALO Trust programme manager, Chris Teasdale. “We’ll educate the public about where to go and where not to go… a lot of community engagement.”
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
Dear editors, Biography of a bomb is aimed at highlighting the danger caused by unexploded bombs. Moreover, the most important aspect is that we work completely non profit, what drives us is raising awerness about this topic. We make use of your pictures and articles, but we need them to put a context in how findings are done. We trust in your understanding. We will (and we always do) cite the source and the author.
