Re: This really happened!

(Anonymous) 2015-01-22 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
In a neighborhood near where I live, someone lifted up a manhole cover and found a pipe bomb glued to the underside. It was all over the news for the next two days. The bomobsquad showed up to deal with it. They made sure it was inert, and after examining it further they determined it was glued to the manhole cover sometime in the '20s.

A friend of mine's dad and his buddy would build pipes bombs and glue them to manhole covers so when they exploded they would flip the cover way up into the air. Sometimes they wouldn't go off, for whatever reason. I don't know that they ever investigated the ones that failed, I just know they happened a few times. Guess where they lived?

The part I find astonishing is that NOONE picked up that one manhole cover for 90 years.
