I stayed near Dubrovnik in the summer of 2005. There was a wildfire burning on on the hills behind us.
The fire traversed the hillside, and every hour or two a landmine would explode.
This was ten years after the war.
- segmondy 7mo ago10 years is a long time, but 10 years after a war is not a long time. Damages to building still remains, mines and plenty of unexploded ordinances will remain, and psychological scars are still very strong.
- sensanaty 7mo agoYep, the city center in Belgrade still has dilapidated, bombed buildings, 26 years after the bombs fell.
- pmontra 7mo agoWe had some buildings like that in the center of Milan. I think that the last one has been restored in the late 90s.

- krater23 7mo agoSounds like the cheapest way to remove mines from land.
- jandrewrogers 7mo agoIt is not reliable though, so you still have to de-mine it the traditional way.
