Lovely. Now al Qaeda needs to do is light the fuse.
Agh: "Now ALL al Qaeda needs to do..."
Time for bed...
*sigh* Yeah.

It is under too much water to do any more than throwing a buttload of water into the air. Oh yeah, and breaking some windows, maybe.
It would literally be more dangerous if terrorists managed to salvaage and fuse a bomb from thsi ship.
Simple.
Clear out the town and make the ship go BOOM!
Problem solved, plus all the fish you can scoop up.
Sounds like a pretty good fishing trip to me.
Pour lots and lots of concrete over it. Cap it with a heavy steel cap, and try to redirect the blast downward.
On second thought, bad idea... Might set off a carbon gas deposit release chain reaction.
How about just pray?

The Highway Department from Oregon should be hired to blow it up. Remember the job they did on the beached whale? Oh, yeah, definitely hire them.
The infamous exploding whale. See it here:

I'd watch that one on pay-per-view!
What a shame it's not off the french coast...we could call it lend lease and forget it.
Actually I remember last year, the U.S. forces got about 1,000 tons of Iraqi explosives into one bigpile so they could be destroyed and they let a Fox New reporter press the button to blow them up. Just think, one kiloton, it was a blast (pun intended) to watch, there was even a mushroom cloud. Pretty cool, Beavis...... B-)

Sorry about the double post, for some reason, I clicked twice but it seemed my message didn't post. Again my apologies, we will now resume normal programming. B-)

Correct, BB. Those munitions are probably waterlogged, and any shell casing would have long ago corroded.
Just my opinion but I'd rather evacuate the city on purpose and repair the damage from a controlled demo shot than bury the victims and then repair the city in an accidental detonation......
Nice lure. Brits wanna see if anybody trys to explore it.
