Un vas eșuat din al Doilea Război Mondial, bombă cu ceas pentru Londra

The SS Richard Montgomery, a WWII shipwreck in the Thames, poses a significant danger due to 1,500 tons of explosives onboard. Authorities fear that the deteriorating structure could lead to a catastrophic explosion, potentially creating a tsunami-like wave. The British government has allocated $12 million to remove the ship's masts to mitigate risks. The wreck, which has become a war memorial and tourist attraction, is located near busy shipping routes, raising concerns about safety. Experts warn that an explosion could have devastating effects on nearby cities and industries.
