Yeah, this sounds like Thailand: At least seven dead, 19 injured after WWII bomb blast in Thailand

[MaDalton]

At least seven people have died and 19 others injured after a massive World War II bomb exploded at a scrap metal warehouse in Bangkok as workers tried to cut it open, officials said.

The 225-kilogram shell was found at a construction site by builders who then sold it to a scrap metal merchant believing the bomb had been defused.

"The workers at the warehouse thought the bomb was no longer active so they used a metal cutter to cut into it causing the explosion," local police commander Virasak Foythong said.

They used a blow torch to try to cut open the bomb. Are they that dumb ?

That are indeed that dumb. But it doesn't stop there. If given a second bomb, I'm 100% sure the survivors would try it again, expecting different results.

heheh

Sold it as scrap metal,the fuck?Here usual procedure is to defusing it by activating it on safe location,since trying to cut it's simply too risky.

[JimmyStephans]

I think its a cover-up....

The bomb story is BS and thats the crash location of MH370!

They just don't want to admit it got past their radar.

That's what happens when a draftee sets the timer for the year 2014 and not 8:14 that night.

[SilentKnight]

I've heard of time delay fuses...but this is a tad extreme.
