US bombs Great Barrier Reef

Sounds like a lot of fuss over not a lot. They dropped their bombs to lighten their load so their fuel would last long enough for them to make it back to base. The bombs didn't explode. Their designed that way. While I'm sure that they did some damage when they hit the bottom I doubt it was particularly serious.

I too thought it was a giant fuss over nothing. Dropped into deep waters, inactive bombs. Granted, we should have aimed a little further outside the WHS designated line, but it's not like we dropped them onto a active reef section and blew a crater 1/2 mile across out of it either.
