We have a bunch of those here in our area still from a train accident in 1973.

It's believed that many of them are still buried and likely under homes & businesses. We just assisted detonating one of the mark 81s last week.

Whoa, that’s really close to where I live. I’m in Roseville right now, actually. Can you tell me more? Where was this mark 81 last week? Do you work at McClellan?
