Default On duds

Quote:
The Journal of Mine Action, an academic publication, estimates that half of the ordnance dropped during the war failed to explode. That means that for every bomb crater photographed from the sky after a bombing raid, there's a dud that may still be embedded in the ground and could still blow at the slightest movement. WWII bombs have killed dozens of people in the last 20 years, and cost untold millions in economic damage as offices, schools and train lines are shut down while bombs are removed.
