Doubtful on the long delay. Where I work there is a UXO. A 500lb bomb from one of our jets during the first air strikes in this country. The bomb went through the roof, twisted a I beam all to heck then buried itself under the concrete. When coalition forces took over the base they just cemented over it and left it. I walk over that spot atleast 100 times a day while at work.

Dont think I would be standing that close taking a cell phone pic.  I would be scared it might let the smoke out.   :uhoh

And now they're going to dismantle it and use it all back to the Israelis  :devil

So I'm a guy living where the Israelis are dropping bombs.  I'm walking down the street and see a big hole from a bomb in a building that the Israelis for some reason deemed it necessary to destroy yet the building still stands.  I think of my options:

a.) Go inside and see the unexploded ordnance because it's cool.
b.) Go inside and mill around making sure I take a cell phone photo to show my girlfriend.
c.) Go inside, mill aorund, take a cell phone photo and then find a buddy to take a picture of me doing so.
d.) Not go inside because the Israelis made this a target of primary concern and due to the fact that it's not in a pile of rubble would still make it a target of primary concern thus a second bomb that's very likely not a dud might come right throught he same hole giving me double the pleasure and double the fun of the first one making me twice as dead.

I can see how it would be difficult to get around the first 3 options failing to see the bad that is masked by all of those very good ideas.

It does look like a drop tank and not a bomb.
