They estimate that there are at least 350K tons of live bombs and mines still in VN.
It's estimated 20M people have been victims since WWII. That's a staggering number of people. God only knows how many bombs are still buried or unexploded? War can leaves scares for decades to 100's of years to come. I'm not a pacifist we fight wars to win (says our leadership) but once the wars over the unexploded devices can still kill many innocent folks at any time. We see this ever now in the news many countries have been in wars or suffered by the wars and these unexploded devices "don't care who they kill" - that's their job.
