Bombing Range Road Gives Up Another Old WWII 'Bomb'


Part of Bombing Range Road was closed Monday while the Richland Bomb Squad dealt with another of what was likely a World War 2 relic.
West Richland Police didn't say who found the item, or specifically where it was located, but said the "d
evice was very old" and may or may not have been inert--meaning it might not have been able to explode.
Most likely it was some sort of World War 2 ordinance, probably a smaller practice bomb that was dropped during the war and never got dug up or noticed.
Before all the development, it's hard to imagine that the whole region along Bombing Range Road was a target practice site for pilots from the Pasco Naval Air Station. They used smaller bombs (usually 100-250 pounders) to practice their aim. Sometimes these weapons didn't always explode and have laid there for decades.
