Firewerx 02/03/20 1:42:54 PM #6:	Unexploded ordnance from WW1 is still killing people in France and Belgium occasionally. Since the end of WW1, more than 360 people have been killed and 500 injured in the Ypres district alone; two construction workers in Ypres were killed in March 2014 when a shell exploded. Ploughing fields in Flanders can be a dangerous business for farmers. --- Incinerate <cite>Firewerx posted [p:933875266] in Unexploded...
