Damn all these decades later and it was still out there. Would have been something else if it went off

Good thing a plastic straw that was floating around didn't collide with the mine...who knows what would have happened then...?....

I was thinking water skiers using it as a pylon

OK, which one of you Squids didn't put your toys away? This is why we can't have nice things.

I haven't seen anything in the news telling HOW they detonated it. They used to use Sharp shooters. It would have been spectacular to watch though.

Glad the Coasties and Squids showed up before some Marine tried to tie off to the thing thinking it was an anchor buoy.

They have no idea how many of the are still planted around the Pacific. Both Japanese mines and US Mines. They just didn't keep the best records back then.

Was anyone else disappointed in the ending of this "komo news movie" ??? after an hour and 43 minutes I was at least expecting to see what happened to itfor real though I would have liked to see them detonate it

KATU website has a video of the detonation of it. Supposedly inert and actually left over from a 2005 Naval exercise.
