Apparently a contractor is supposed to remove the masts next year, so I'd say there's a fair chance of a massive explosion in the near future.

From that wiki lol

One of the reasons that the explosives have not been removed was the unfortunate outcome of a similar operation in July 1967, to neutralize the contents of the Polish cargo ship Kielce, that sank in 1946, off Folkestone in the English Channel. During preliminary work, Kielce exploded with a force equivalent to an earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale, digging a 20-foot-deep (6 m) crater in the seabed and bringing "panic and chaos" to Folkestone, although there were no injuries.[5]: 2000 survey, p21–22  Kielce was at least 3 or 4 miles (4.8 or 6.4 km) from land, sunk in deeper water than Richard Montgomery, and had "just a fraction" of the load of explosives.[10]

Oh, I can absolutely believe that someone would fumble the first hit, then giggle so hard out of embarrassment that nothing gets done after that.

This seems very real to me. Some people don't often experience loud noises or hitting things in a deliberate way. In this, they pull away from the impact every time or close their eyes. It's why some people are uniquely bad at sparring the first time they do it, hitting things is very foreign to some folks.

I remember the last time I saw discussion of that wreck. The consensus was if they tried to detonate it in place there was a risk that not all of the munitions would go up in the blast. Then you have an unknown amount of UXO spread over a large area in a major shopping route. It was better to keep it contained and tell everyone to stay away from that particular spot.

women are traditionally discouraged from doing things that would build that sort of hand-eye coordination, like throwing balls, and from swinging hammers in general.

If we're talking about WWI bombs/shells, then some of the fill explosives can become extremely unstable with time. Picric acid (tinitrophenol) in particular likes to react with metals in a corroding shell or fuse assembly to form picrate salts and when they do it becomes very touchy, and pretty much everyone used picric acid as fill. Lyddite, melinite, ecrasite, these were all picric acid mixtures. Maybe if you've got a lot of water exposure those salts dissolve and wash away, or maybe the shell buried in mud corrodes enough to let in enough water to form those salts but not enough to wash them away, and there's no way to tell by looking at it. You really don't want to gently caress with WW1 UXO, even putting aside the fact that they might have chemical weapon fill that's still really nasty, because even if the fill doesn't detonate picking up a shell and having 100-year-old sulfur mustard spill out all over you is also not good. Occasionally there's still someone who digs into something in France and melts his skin off, or someone goes digging in an old disposal site and gets sick.

That doesn't follow.. That porcelain ball is tied to the fuse, so if you've got a stielhandgranate with a cord hanging out the end of it, there's a fuse in there. Now by the time WWII came around, explosive fill was generally something considerably more stable than TNP, but you still need a small quantity of something less stable in order to set it off, and in a lot of applications including stielhandgranate that thing was lead azide. Lead azide is *generally* pretty safe, but that grenade's fuse assembly has a capsule that contains the friction compound (basically the match head that you ignite when you pull the cord), and that capsule is made from copper. And in the presence of air and moisture, lead azide reacts with copper to form copper azide, and copper azide is goes-off-if-you-look-at-it-funny unstable, and "blow it up in place" is the first choice when disposing of stuff that contains copper azide.

At any point does picric acid degrade to a state where it is nonvolatile? i.e. will all the UXO from WWI begin to turn inert in 2200 or [insert other year here]? For obvious reasons you still have to treat it as if it's dangerous, I'm just wondering if and when it will likely be safer to reinhabit some of those spaces.

Depends who made it, and no, some explosives are surprisingly shelf stable for being so explosive, and theyre almost in the best possible storage (wrt to stability). In a cold, sealed container and away from any oxygen, light and water.

A lot of explosive compounds will just sit there waiting for any sudden energetic input to go off. A common example are old bottles of diethyl ether, which will slowly form very unstable explosive peroxides that will precipitate out of solution, and infamously will just wait for someone to pick up the bottle.

And as for them going inert it depends who made them. The UK used Cordite for a lot of their shells, which in WW1 was a semihard gelled mix of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin. The nitroglycerin will eventually fall out of the mix and crystallize, the form in which its most sensitive. Its Much the same way as dynamite.
