WWII anti-ship mine destroyed in Croatia.

Croatian authorities have successfully destroyed a massive anti-ship mine from World War II that was buried in the seabed near the northern Adriatic Sea port of Rijeka. The mine, which contained 1,500-pounds of explosives, was discovered last June and was positioned too close to the city, requiring it to be moved further away before the controlled detonation. Videos released by Croatian police showed the mine at the bottom of the sea and a huge explosion sending seawater high up in the air.
