Army detonates World War II bomb in Makua, protects petroglyph
Schofield Barracks, Hawaii (AP)
Taking extraordinary measures to shield an ancient petroglyph, the Army during early December detonated several unexploded munitions on its Makua Military Reservation. “There was a big boom,” said Dennis Drake, a spokesman for the Army garrison in Hawaii. “A very loud explosion occurred when they set it off.” A major highway and the beach area near the site were closed for about two hours. The explosives were discovered during November in an operation to clear safe access to the reservation for Native Hawaii cultural observances. The access had been arranged in negotiations with a group that had sued against munitions testing on Hawaii’s most populous island. |
