Luckily everyone was safe,  but I think it is amazing how this still occasionally happens,  after so many years.

It's always diggers that unearth them. Biggest miracle is that I don't recall ever reading that a digger caused one to explode. I remember reading that the slave labourers were thought to have sabotaged some of the fuses they were making. This one seems to have been off target anyway.

Perhaps we could plant a few thousand small devices like those on the channel.  Not enough to kill anyone or damage anything more robust than a dinghy?  Deterrent.
