Dad Shares Innocent Photo Of His Son At Beach, Authorities Act Fast After Spotting Small Detail

In 2015, a family in Burry Port, Carmarthenshire, unknowingly posed for photos on what they thought was a buoy—only to later learn it was an unexploded World War II bomb. Gareth and Kelly Gravell’s children had even climbed on it before authorities discovered the truth and carried out a controlled detonation. The shocking incident, which went viral after Gareth’s post online, served as a reminder of the hidden dangers wartime relics can still pose along UK coastlines.
