A bomb found in the front garden of a house in the UK preceded both World Wars. The couple said the detonation of the shell was "like the passing of an old friend." The 64-pound naval projectile had been used as a garden ornament for decades. AdvertisementA garden ornament turned out to be a live bomb for a UK couple who had it in pride of place in their garden for decades, the BBC reports.

Accidents are all too common, and often deadly, says Sam Mayall, a lifelong sailor and former maritime transport deck officer. “A lot of the technologies employed offshore now are the same technologies that have been there for the last 40 or 50 years,” says Mayall. Spotting people is just one part of search and rescue — getting them out of the water rapidly is also critical. Zelim’s “Swift” conveyor belt is adapted to the maritime environment to get people out of the water quickly. The maritime industry is slow to innovate, says Phillips, and the industry-standard rescue winches have been the same for decades.

This Welsh coastal fort, built in the 1860s, is on the market for about $230,000. Fort Hubberstone's barracks housed US soldiers ahead of the D-Day landings in the Second World War. Fort Hubberstone, a property in the Welsh coastal town of Milford Haven, has been put on the market for £190,000 (almost $230,000). The Grade II* listed building housed US soldiers during the D-Day landings in World War Two, and came complete with gun rooms and a pub. The property has seen far better days, and a prospective buyer will need to do some work to bring it up to spec.
