00:00Hey guys, have a look at this. They suspect that's a World War 2 bomb exploding at

00:05Miyazaki Airport in Japan on Wednesday this week. So this jail plane had just

00:12taxied in a couple of minutes before, had just taxied past that spot and up it

00:19went. It was captured on the airport CCTV. How about that? That's an 80 year old

00:27bomb that's been sitting under the surface. Nobody knew about it. Obviously a

00:31lot of bombs got dropped on airports in Japan during World War 2. So that one's

00:38laid there for 80 years ready to go off. Seems it went off just on the taxiway

00:46there, just where you exit the runway. So yeah, it would have made a mess if there'd

00:52been a wing over that as it went off. It could have made quite a problem.

01:00Isn't that amazing? There's something we don't expect when we're flying in and out of

01:05regional airports in Japan. A little souvenir from World War 2. Incredible

01:16isn't it? So fortunately nobody was hurt, which is a good thing. So I'll put this on

01:22our Pilots in Japan playlist. Something a bit different. More videos coming soon!
