The Canadian military plans to dispatch a ship off the coast of British Columbia to investigate a diver's claim that he found a bomb lost in 1950 when a U.S. B-36 crashed en route from Alaska to Texas.

I saw this on the news... How safe is it and what are they going to do to eliminate it ...

SFC George Smith It sounds like it will be just fine if left alone as nobody really dives in that area of water. From the info that I gathered it didn't have the nuclear payload just TNT. Not sure how being submerged in the water for over 60 years affects TNT. If it is legit and poses a danger, I am sure that EOD will render it safe without harm to the community.

Sorry about that Maj Marty Hogan. I did not realize it had already been posted. Either way, like you said it is kinda scary to say the least.

Nope no worries- should be posted....a lot. My first thought was when it went missing did they just say- ahhh it is lost and will be fine???
