For a moment we almost had a new war with The Great Barrier Reef
But fortunately diplomatic efforts were able to soothe the wounds caused by the latest US bombing attack.
Two U.S. two AV-8B Harrier jets accidentally bombed Australia’s Great Barrier Reef during a training exercise on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.Got to watch that reef carefully, it looks like they found a way to keep our bombs from exploding. Next thing you know they will be creeping up to our shores.
The jets launched from USS Bonhomme Richard and accidentally released an inert bomb and an unarmed explosive bomb from 164 feet above the water, according to a statement released from U.S. 7th Fleet on Saturday. Neither of the bombs exploded and they possibly caused minimal damage to the reef.
