The US-led allied front dropped hundreds of thousands of bombs on the island nation during the early 1940s. Many of them did not explode and turn up across Japan from time to time. Japanese Ground Self-Defence Force members remove an unexploded bomb believed to have fallen during World War II in Tokyo on May 18, 2008. Photo: Reuterson October 2 at a regional airport in southwest Japan, causing a 23-foot wide crater in the middle of the taxiway next to the runway. Its sister organisation responsible for disposing of underwater mines handled 197 pieces weighing about 4.1 tonnes last year. Two of the three bombs were taken away by the US forces after the war, while the third was left on her property because it had “burrowed too deep” into the ground. Well into her 80s when the news report came out, the Japanese woman said she didn’t want to “pass the negative legacy onto younger generations”.Moreover, explosive materials within the bombs buried deep in the ground can degrade. This makes the explosives more unstable and prone to detonation if disturbed, making their removal even riskier.
