Police in London, Ont., say someone put a live First World War-era artillery shell out with the trash on Tuesday. The shell contained more than 10 kilograms of live explosives and had to be destroyed by bomb experts at Canadian Forces Base Borden. Vellow, who is a retired iron worker, said he was worried the explosive was live, so he called the police. More common than you might thinkPolice sent the bomb squad, and contacted Canadian Forces Explosive Ordnance Disposal at CFB Borden, which identified the ordnance as an artillery shell from the First World War era. Some people collect them, have them, they've been passed down from generation to generation and you don't know if it's live," Bough said.
