Re: Litter louts- Worse things happen at sea

Not just rockets. but ships with cargo..

.. which were sometimes rockets. And bombs. And in one case a few years ago, a chap in the US ordered some gravel for his drive. He noticed a lump of metal, then noticed it looked like a shell case, which turned out to be a chemical munition. Lots got dumped at sea after WW2 and later, and can reappear today-
