The explosion of a 500-pound U.S. bomb from World War II at Miyazaki Airport in Japan created a significant crater while canceling over 80 flights but fortunately no injuries.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi announced the cancellation of more than 80 flights at Miyazaki Airport following the explosion of the unexploded bomb, which caused a sizable crater in the taxiway.
Miyazaki Airport, originally built in 1943, has a history as a former Imperial Japanese Navy flight training field, with many unexploded U.S. bombs remaining buried around Japan.
The blast at the airport was captured in a video, showing a large fountain of asphalt debris propelled into the air, emphasizing the power of the explosion.
