Apparently the Army left some bombs buried during WWII excercises, and now there are $500,000 homes over them and people are finding them. They're all upset and want to leave, but the cost of their homes has dropped and nobody wants to buy them anyway.
"It's incomprehensib le," said Frank Kruppenbacher, the general counsel of the Orange County school board. "It starts with my wondering why the U.S. military ever allowed any of these properties [to] be developed without first saying you have to go through X-checklist." "Before they get to walk away and claim 'we're done,' we're going to have a real day of reckoning and assurances," Kruppenbacher said.
The Army Corps of Engineers maintains it's not responsible. "It was known that this was a demonstration area for war fighting," said Ornella. "People knew it and the information was available. Absolutely available." Asked if the Army Corps raised enough concerns, Ornella said, "I believe the Army Corps followed the process we are required to follow." The Army Corps of Engineers did publish government reports more than a decade ago about the bombing range.

I see... Well I will make sure the next time I buy land, I'll look for the government reports on bombs.
Who in the hell would think to check for such a thing? If you lived in the area and your Grandparent's said "I remember when that place was a ammo factory, you better check to see if it was cleaned up", then ok I understand, check to see if it was cleaned up. But most wouldn't have that type of info.

That's crazy. What if you went out and came back to find out your house blew up from a bomb by your government. I have dead cows in my back yard. :laugh:
