SPECIAL REPORT: THE DEADLINESS BELOW
SPECIAL REPORT, PART 1: The Deadliness Below
Weapons of mass destruction thrown into the sea years ago present
danger now - and the Army doesn't know where they all are.
In the summer of 2004, a clam-dredging operation off New Jersey
pulled up an old artillery shell.
These are the chemicals of warfareHere are
some of the chemical weapons that the Army dumped into the sea. The artillery rounds and steel containers that they're in
are likely to be corroding and unstable. They present a deadly risk.
MUSTARD GAS What's
Off Virginia? 'There's No Guarantee'
Large quantities of chemical weapons were dumped off the state's coast. Watermen and
environmentalists are fearful and demand answers.
Lurking off Virginia are tens of thousands of mustard gas shells and
hundreds of tons of radioactive waste in at least five ocean dump zones created by the Army decades ago.
Of Clamshells, Artillery ShellsMustard gas ordnance dredged from the sea was found in a driveway in the summer
of 2004. Three bomb disposal experts were injured.
Homeowners have been finding military ordnance in their clamshell driveways
in Delaware and Maryland for the last year.
SPECIAL REPORT, PART 2: The Deadliness
Below
Overseas, fishermen have been hurt by chemical weapons the United States secretly sank, from the Riviera to Australia.
As
World War II drew to a close, the Army was faced with scant storage space in ordnance depots at home and huge chemical weapons
stockpiles overseas.
Navy conventional weapons dumping: Unsafe dumping
The Navy
disposed of surplus rockets, bombs and other explosives at sea by blowing up ships packed with the old weapons.
A beachgoer
in Rehoboth Beach walked up to a lifeguard in July with two strange objects in his hand and a stranger request on his lips.
Letters to the editor (Nov. 4, 2005): The Pentagon's response on dumping
For
a half century, the United States maintained a stockpile of chemical agents and munitions for possible use in wartime. The
recent Daily Press series "Special report: The deadliness below" did not emphasize that today the U.S. Army is eliminating
this arsenal in safe and environmentally responsible ways.
House to probe chemical dumpingCongress
looks at the Army's dumping of chemical weapons in the sea. Other countries and environmentalists want answers as well.
Federal
lawmakers are demanding the Army reveal everything it knows about where it dumped chemical weapons into the world's oceans,
as well as provide proof the munitions won't leak and cause an environmental catastrophe.
Dredging
up a long-buried secretThe Army will study a chemical weapon inadvertently brought ashore to assess risks of ocean
dumps.
The Army hopes to learn more about the risks from ocean-dumped chemical weapons by testing and dismantling an artillery
shell filled with mustard agent that was dredged up in October off the coast of New Jersey.
DOD orders Army to find dumpsitesA high-ranking official promises a comprehensive effort to locate long-lost
chemical weapons.
The military is plowing through old records to find any and all information on the Army's ocean dumping
of chemical weapons decades ago, a high priority effort to determine where they all are located and what danger they pose
today.
