Landscaper Finds Munitions While Cutting Grass
Salina, Kansas A landscaper almost fell off his tractor when he came across two 500 pound bombs while cutting grass behind the Salina Iron and Metal Scrap Yard. The landscaper called the police who responded with technical support provided by the 774th EOD unit from Fort Riley.
The EOD unit identified the munitions as inert concrete filled 500-pound bombs. The bombs came from the National Guard Smoky Hill Range and were waiting to be recycled. The EOD unit left the bombs on site as they posed no explosive safety threat.

Should have taken these bombs. They are not being properly processed. Before going to recycling they should be demiliterized. Many things could have been done. Leaving them is not one of them.
