"WWII-Era Bomb Unearthed at Florida Airport Prompts Evacuation, Resolved by Bomb Team"

Construction workers unearthed a 1,000-pound World War II-era bomb at a Florida airport, prompting evacuations until it was determined to be inert. The bomb, believed to be a Mark 65 bomb, was found at the future site of a technical college campus. The Citrus County bomb squad confirmed the ordnance was inert, and a team from MacDill Air Force Base was sent to dispose of it. The airport was formerly a World War II training site for bombers.

"Discovery of Cold War-Era Nuclear Missile in Washington Garage Sparks Investigation"

A man in Bellevue, Washington, was found to have an inert nuclear missile in his garage, which he had purchased from an estate sale. The missile, a Douglas AIR-2 Genie, was reported to the police by the National Museum of the US Air Force, but it was determined that there was no warhead attached, so there was no danger to the community. The military did not want the rocket back, so it was left with the man to be donated.
