AFTER four-month-long time critical removal action on Saipan, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Monday afternoon detonated unexploded ordnance found in Marpi. An unexploded ordnance, otherwise known as a UXO or dud, is a military munition that has been primed, fused, armed, or otherwise prepared for action; has been fired, dropped, launched, projected, or placed in such a manner as to constitute a hazard to operations, installations, personnel, or material; and remain unexploded either by malfunction, design, or any other cause. In layman’s terms, it is a fired round that did not explode, a munitions and explosive of concern, or MEC. Prior to the construction of the H.O.P.E. Recovery Center, the compound was used as a defense site by the U.S. Department of Defense.
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, raising awerness about this topic is what drives us. We apologize if we make use of pictures in yours articles, but we need them to put a context in how findings are done. We will (and we always do) cite source and author of the picture. We thank you for your comprehension.
