Authorities
in Virginia destroyed five sticks of 30-year-old dynamite that had
spent years in the trunk of a broken-down vehicle. The Virginia Beach
Fire Department said the homeowner had used dynamite for land clearing
before retiring and had forgotten the dynamite was stored in the trunk
of the vehicle in his back yard until he rediscovered it Monday morning.
The fire department said the dynamite was waterlogged and had lost its
original potency, but it was burned by the city’s bomb squad as a
precaution.
