WWII bomb kills 3 idiots

2005 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

(November 19, 2005 Philippine Daily Inquirer)

Three fishermen in Rosario, Cavite were killed when a WWII bomb that they were trying to pry open exploded.

Rosario Police Chief, Mario Reyes, said that the three were apparently on board a boat when the incident happened.

There was a campaign against dynamite fishing making it hard to procure explosive material. Some fishermen apparently resort to diving and searching for lodged ordnance for use in their illegal activities.

The bomb was described to be thigh-sized and apparently went off while they were sawing off the cover.

3 dynamite fishermen terminated...somewhat like an episode we would see in the 3 Stooges.

Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
Here's the link:http://news.inq7.net/breaking/index.php?index=2&story_id=57066 THANK YOU for providing an original (if brief) write-up! Yes, it DOES remind me of the Three Stooges, and at least ONE of them SHOULD have been smart enough to know better. Apparently, the locals over there aren't too keen on the dangers of unstable WWII ordnance and probably find a use for it whenever they find it, but that's no excuse. This one's a winner in my book...THREE genetic deadbeats gone in one big bang!
