Online Ordnance Purchase Goes "Up in Smoke"
Llansantffraid, Powys, England A collector who bought a WWII-era Hungarian stick grenade online for 51 pounds (approximately 66 US dollars) was forced to turn the UXO over to EOD for a controlled detonation.
Kallum Williams said the item was advertised as decommissioned, but when it arrived it appeared still have explosive powder inside. He called the police after realizing it should have had holes in it where the powder had been removed. "It felt like a saltshaker," Williams said.
