A World War II-era bomb, believed to be a 500-pound U.S. bomb, exploded at Miyazaki Airport in Japan, creating a large crater on the taxiway and forcing the airport to shut down. The blast, which occurred after the bomb had been buried for over 80 years, led to the cancellation of nearly 90 flights and caused significant disruption at the busy international airport. Fortunately, there were no reported casualties as the explosion took place near the runway with planes preparing for take-off. The airport has since been closed for safety measures as authorities assess the situation and secure the area.
