"Double Trouble" as EOD Respond to UXO on Beach

Mappleton, United Kingdom Four bombs were found on an East Yorkshire beach, two by beachgoers, the other two by EOD responding to the scene of the first two finds. HM Coastguard at Hornsea were called to the scene of the discovery but quickly realized EOD was needed.

A cordon was put in place as the incoming tide made it impossible to render the explosives safe. Following the high tide, EOD safely disposed of the munitions through four controlled explosions.
