Classic
My old boss was on the EOD crews in the RE in the 70's and 80's.
He said they used to get at least 1 call a week from an old person saying 'during the war I remember a bomber dropping bombs and one didn't go off I need to tell you before I die...........'. or someone saying 'I remember an aircraft crashing during the war and several bombs were buried in the wreck..........'
The hours they wasted looking.............................. he spent a week in a field stream once with a MAD (Magnetic Anomaly Detector), guy was convinced there was a bomb in there.(nothing found)
My boss said MAD kind of described it perfectly.
