It’s not an uncommon occurrence for World War II-era munitions to be found throughout Japan, but locating one at an airport is definitely unexpected – and worrying. The 500-pound American bomb was buried beneath the taxiway of Miyazaki Airport, in southwestern Japan, and detonated on October 2, 2024. ✈️💥 This morning, an explosion was reportedly captured on the information camera at Miyazaki Airport at 7:58 AM, sending plumes of dust into the air.
