Iceland: Evacuated a fish processing plant due to torpedo bomb
The Akureyri Fishing Company’s fish processing plant was evacuated shortly after noon today due to a torpedo bomb that entered the fishing gear of the trawler Björg EA. The bomb landed in the last part of the fishing trip. Björg EA arrived in Akureyri this morning, according to a post on the Samherji website. It is reported that the bomb is in bad condition and the crew initially thought it was an old iron barrel. Upon closer inspection, however, the object turned out to be a torpedo bomb. “Contact was made with the Coast Guard’s bomb experts and they are expected north this afternoon. It was decided to evacuate the area to a radius of one hundred meters from the pier, so processing was stopped today to ensure maximum safety.” more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 08:10
