“終わらない戦後処理” 陸自の不発弾処理が4万件に達する

01/09/2024 Giappone, Kyūshū, Ryūkyū, Okinawa  “If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law and/or enforcement agency for assistance”. 沖縄の本土復帰以降、50年以上にわたって陸上自衛隊が行っている不発弾処理の件数が23日、4万件に達しました。太平洋戦争末期、「鉄の暴風」と言われるほどに多くの空襲や艦砲射撃、それに地上戦による無数の砲弾にさらされた沖縄は、およそ1万トンが不発弾として残ったと推定され、本土復帰後に地上で発見されたものは、陸上自衛隊の不発弾処理隊が処理を続けています。こうした中、処理隊には23日も日中に複数の不発弾の発見情報が寄せられ、対応にあたっていました。那覇市泊の住宅工事現場でアメリカ製の長さおよそ40センチの5インチ艦砲弾が見つかると、現場に駆けつけた隊員が危険性がないか確認したうえで、不発弾をトラックに載せて回収していました。この回収で復帰後に部隊が処理した件数が4万件に達しました。現場の対応にあたった第101不発弾処理隊の岩瀬亘隊長は「きょうだけで3件対応したが、それだけ多くの不発弾が沖縄には存在している。引き続き、無事故で不発弾を除去し、県民が安全な生活を送れるようしっかり務めていきたい」と話していました。不発弾の処理は今なお、平均すると1日に1件以上のペースで続けられていて、すべてを処理するには、あと70年から100年ほどかかるとみられ、“終わらない戦後処理”とも言われています。 Photo-Source: 3.nhk.or.jp 警察は「不発弾を見つけたら近づかず連絡してほしい」と話しています Biography of a Bomb Dear editors, Biography of a bomb is aimed at highlighting the danger caused by unexploded bombs.

那覇 首里地区で約1400人避難 大型爆弾の不発弾処理へ

26/08/2024 Giappone, Kyūshū, Ryūkyū, Okinawa, Naha  “If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law and/or enforcement agency for assistance”. 那覇市の首里地区で来月、およそ1400人に一時避難を呼びかける大型爆弾の不発弾処理が行われることが分かりました。“終わらない戦後処理”とも言われる不発弾の処理や回収は、1日に1件以上のペースで続けられていますが、一度に避難する人数としては異例の規模となります。この不発弾は、去年12月、那覇市首里山川町で下水道工事中に見つかりました。一帯は沖縄戦当時、旧日本軍が首里城の地下に置いた司令部壕に近い激戦地でした。陸上自衛隊が詳しく調べたところ、不発弾はアメリカ軍機から投下されたとみられる250キロ爆弾1発で、長さおよそ1.2メートル、直径36センチほどだということです。爆発するおそれがあるため、現地で信管を取り外すことが決まりました。その際、万が一に備えて土のうを積んで仮設の壕を作る必要があるものの、住宅密集地で周辺の道路が狭く、大型の重機が運び込めないため、那覇市などが代替案の検討を続けてきました。その結果、一部手作業で周辺を掘り下げて安全性を確保することになり、関係者によりますと、16日、関係機関などが協議した結果、発見から9か月以上となる来月29日に処理を行うことが決まったということです。ただ、周辺には住宅や大型ホテルが建ち並んでいて、半径およそ280メートルの範囲で住民や従業員、およそ1400人に一時避難を呼びかけるという異例の規模に上るほか、交通規制も行うため、路線バスなどにも影響が出る見通しです。県内では、沖縄戦から79年となった今も1日に1件以上のペースで不発弾の処理や回収が続けられています。すべてを処理するには、あと70年から100年ほどかかるとみられているということで、不発弾処理は、“終わらない戦後処理”とも言われています。 Photo-Source: 3.nhk.or.jp 警察は「不発弾を見つけたら近づかず連絡してほしい」と話しています Biography of a Bomb Dear editors, Biography of a bomb is aimed at highlighting the danger caused by unexploded bombs.
