Motto
There was a documentary on TV here a year or so back on the Messines Ridge mines and they covered the detonation of the 'dud' in the 50's following a thunderstorm. The crater was enormous and not that far from a town.
Apparently the remaining unexploded mine had been confirmed by authorities to now sit beneath a very large and prosperous dairy farm. The family that owns the farm is aware of it but not that concerned. David
