There must be still thousands of bombs underground across Asia Pacific. Bombs are found on an annual basis in construction site in Japan. Sometimes in the sea.
Is it written Made in Japan
Yay. Again
Bill it to Japan PM
The Japanese did not drop the bomb. Aliens left it there.
Beware of mushroom clouds🤣
Wow how frightening, guessing all sites that are under construction are thoroughly scanned in order validate if their are any potential WWII bombs?
Put in museum don't detonate it.
Reclaimed land area meaning not from local/native original land ..?
That's Weird !! the whole area here supposed to be sea shore during WW II era and reclaimed in te 80s , If it was an old bomb, shouldn't it have already been buried deep beneath how could it be found in some newly reclaimed land ?
Is this April fool?

It’s a Japanese Navy bomb. Possibly only one of two carried by a G3M Nell bomber or Type 96 attack bomber as shown in the pic at 1:28.
№.25 Model 2 – 250 kg ordinary bomb, accepted into service prior to 1938
Type 98 №.25 – 250 kg ordinary bomb, accepted into service in 1938
