Europe's Mustard Gas Shells "Problem" -WWI Shells STILL DEADLY!!
1/30/2006
Our story starts 90 years ago. The Great War claimed over 15 million lives and focused on a narrow strip of land in Belgium and France.
This intense trench warfare led to constant shelling by both sides, but not every bomb fired exploded. Hundreds of thousands failed to detonate.
Today the remains of the Belgian front line can still be seen - some trenches are still visible, and visitors can walk past the barbed wire and inspect the rusting military hardware left behind.
And it is those shells that are now resurfacing and presenting a new threat.
* Every year more than 30 people are killed on the battlefields of Europe after disturbing or picking up unexploded bombs and shells.
* It's estimated that three Titanics worth of unexploded bombs still litter the fields of France and Belgium, left over from World War 1.
* Some of these shells contain deadly Mustard Gas and Phosgene. Chemical shells left over from World War 1 that are still as deadly as the day they were fired.
* The Belgian Bomb Disposal Team brings back two lorry loads of unexploded bombs every day for safe destruction.
* Inside the high security chemical warfare lab, bomb teams work four hour shifts inside special chemical suits as they take the gas shells apart and destroy the chemicals.
