Flights at Miyazaki Airport were disrupted after a World War II bomb exploded, resulting in the cancellation of approximately 80 flights affecting over 3,400 passengers.
The airport's taxiway sustained severe damage after the explosion, creating a crater about 7 meters in diameter and 1 meter deep, showcasing the potency of WWII ordnance.
Incidentally, Japan has a history of unexploded ordnance from World War II, with several devices unearthed over the years, indicating the lingering dangers of wartime bombing.
The recent incident raises concerns about the ongoing presence of unexploded bombs in Japan, with defense officials noting hundreds of tons still buried across the country.
