Swimming Pool Install Results In UXO Finds

Shangqiu, China Workers digging for a pool uncovered some suspicious objects in the dirt. The unaware workers initially thought the items were bricks or scrap metal debris. However, after a few more finds, the construction team became concerned and reported the finds to the authorities.

Shangqiu police responded and called in bomb disposal personnel for assistance. Within a day, more than 3,000 munitions related items were excavated from the area. Authorities suspect that the rusty munitions can be traced back 70 years to the Second Sino-Japanese War.
