Bomb Technicians Search for Aging Dynamite

Waynesboro, VA Police setup an exclusion zone around a construction site after workers reported finding wires sticking out of drilled holes as they feared that the wires lead to unexploded dynamite. The construction crew was part of a wetlands rehabilitation project and was cautious due to reports of dynamite being utilized in the past to build a retention pond in the area during the late 1980s.<.p>

Police warned local residents to stay inside while Virginia State Police bomb squad personnel examined the exposed wires. Bomb technicians inspected the wires and accompanying holes and determined that no unexploded charges were present before giving the all clear.
