The Real Environmental Disaster in the Gulf of Mexico

After a World War II bomb was exploded recently on a beach near Tampa, Florida, the media have revealed that at least 30 million pounds of live bombs were dumped in the Gulf of Mexico from 1945 to the early 1970s.  There are gigantic “dump sites” of mustard gas off the New Jersey coast; 26 dump sites of various types of bombs of the Northeast coast; 17 dump sites off the Southeast coast; 9 in the west; and 20 near Alaska and Hawaii.

When the state’s wars end, and it is left with millions of pounds of unused bombs, they were just dumped in the water offshore.
