Nothing like a little explosive WW2 diversion washing up to take away the attention from the latest outpouring of tarball love courtesy of British Petroleum. WKRG reports that a bomb was found on Orange Beach in Alabama. "The device is disk-shaped and about 3 feet wide and appears to weigh about 500 lbs. It was found in the surfline. Crews have cordoned off about 30 yards of beach with construction fence. Authorities believe it might be an old World War II shell of some sort." Surely, this is one of the key upside catalysts sought for by all BP value investors.

From WKRG:

A scary day for beachgoers in Orange Beach after an explosive device is found near Perdido Pass.

Lt. Steve Brown with Orange Beach Police tells News 5 that the device appears to be an underwater bomb. It was found on the east side of the Perdido Pass near the jetties. Orange Beach Police and Fire are on the scene.

A bomb squad from NAS Pensacola is enroute to the scene. We hope to have more information for News 5 at Noon.

Going tinfoil here.

I wonder if it is a remnant of what was used to blow up the DWH.

It just goes to show the staggering amount of ordinance that was dropped/ deployed during WW2, we’re still finding them 50+ years later.

EE WTF is that you posted mate?
