The military think it is a very dangerous object. There are around a dozen
people killed every year by WW1 munitions dug up on the Western Front in
Northern France and Belgium and the sludge in those rusty canisters is 90
years old.


Really ? I'd love to see the source of info ? There was a TV programme
a few years ago which showed French farmers regularly ploughing up all
sorts of WW1 ordnance and selling the decent stuff.

No one seemed to think it was any threat !


Hence the twelve-odd people killed each year.

From Tapioca related deaths you mean ? Yes it's awful and someone
should put a stop to it :-)
