Some guy not far from here was fucking with a bit of Civil War exploding ordinance and set it off in his garage. Killed him and blew a hole in the front wall of a house halfway down his street.
Old shell fragments were larger. WWI fragments were huge.

Ya. The old shells didn't fragment so much as crack like a dropped egg

In the middle of the video trauma surgeons successfully remove a RPG from a pelvic bone, not knowing if it will explode at any moment.
And lucky staff.

1) Spring 1971 I was in a convoy headed for Fire Base Vagel. We had a twin 40 duster in the front and a gun truck in the rear for escort. I was tucked in the middle in a 3/4 ton truck. A buddy was just ahead of me in a 5 ton S&P loaded with a 175mm cannon tube. Everything was going fine until we came up a small hill with a curve at the top. As my buddy's 5 ton took the curve he hit a mine planted in the road. Being right behind him I got caught in the concussion but none of the shrapnel hit me. When I finally got my senses back the smoke was beginning to clear around his truck. We weren't taking any small arms fire and I could see the front of his truck. The entire front end looked like a heap of scrap metal. I ran up and started to open the door but noticed that the cab looked like a piece of swiss cheese, holes all over the damn thing. I finally got up the nerve to open the door and found my buddy sitting behind the wheel staring out the space that use to be the windshield. It took half a minute with me calling his name before he turned and looked t me. There were holes all around him, but he didn't have a scratch other than busted ear drums.
2)Fall 1971. I was medivaced to Camp Zamma Japan. When I arrived they put me in a bed right across from a young black guy who was in a traction wheel gizmo. He had pins in his ankles and in his hips that were attached to weights. The wheel was so they could turn him onto his stomach or back with out taking the weights off. They would connect a mattress to the contraption, then rotate it 180 degrees until he was on it; then they would remove the one he had been laying on. I spent some time talking to him and he told me how he ended up there. He was a grunt on Fire Base Rakkasan. They were taking incoming one night so he was in an 81mm mortar position with another guy preparing to lay down suppression fire. The first round they dropped down the tube exploded, killing his buddy and sending six pieces of shrapnel through his legs. The nurses would come in twice a day and use what looked like a turkey baster to irrigate the wounds. They'd stick the damn thing in clear to the bone. That young man was one of the bravest people I've seen. In the week I was there I never heard him cry out in pain, even during those sessions.He was still there when I left for Letterman Hospital.
3) 1952, Olympic Peninsula. My family moved here from Oklahoma in 1950. I was only two so I don't remember this incident but my grandmother told me about it. My dad had twin 12 year old cousins at that time. They were helping my dad cut firewood on an abandon firing range a few miles from our house. It had been used in WWII for tank gunnery practice. While my dad was cutting wood the two boys went exploring and found an old 37mm tank shell. They had no idea what it was so they carried it home. They wanted to find out what was inside so they put it on a block of wood and hit it with an ax. It exploded. One of the boys got only one piece of shrapnel, but it was through his heart. He died instantly. The other one had both legs and one arm severed, as well as several holes through his torso. He lived for 48 hours.
