The Unexploded ordinance teams (UXO) do an amazing job. I was there backpacking in 2004 on a bus and was stopped in a traffic jam on a remote mountain side, loads of army looking people about. I had no idea what was going on and the locals couldn't explain... then a huge blast went off up the hill. What was striking was 1. how close the thing was to a village, 2. How dense the jungle was around the area for these things to hide and 3. How normal this process seemed to the locals looking at their reactions. |
