You know those VFW halls that have an old tank or something outside to make people feel like they’re headed back into the war, so they should go inside and drink a lot? Apparently that works for just about everyone in Alaska.
For years, a bomb from the World War II era sat outside a bar in Kodiak, Alaska. It probably served as a reminder that people were going to the bar to get bombed themselves. However, it turned out that the “dud” was not actually a dud. In fact, it was an active bomb.
The bomb was blown up by soldiers because of safety concerns. But think about it, how cool would it be to sit in a bar, drinking and carrying on, only to hear a big explosion outside, then return to drinking and carrying on?
It’d be like a John Wayne comedy, like to North to Alaska.
