WWII Bomb Explosion Disrupts Miyazaki Airport
An unexploded 500-pound U.S. bomb from World War II unexpectedly detonated at Miyazaki Airport in southwestern Japan, creating a large crater and leading to the cancellation of more than 80 flights. The explosion occurred on a taxiway, but no aircraft or personnel were nearby, resulting in no injuries. The airport, initially built as a training base for the Imperial Japanese Navy, has been a site where several unexploded ordnances from the war have been discovered over the years. The incident prompted an investigation by Japanese authorities, including the Self-Defense Forces, to determine the cause of the sudden detonation. Despite the disruption, officials have confirmed there is no further danger, and flights are expected to resume shortly after repairs. This incident highlights the ongoing issue of unexploded wartime bombs in Japan, with hundreds of tons still buried across the country.
