It was used in the Vietnam war.
Might sound like a silly joke, but it’s a reality: Americans used white shiny toilet as a bomb to strike on Vietnam. Known as the “Toilet Bomb”, he is caught in the middle of the photo shoot and went down in history of this terrible war.
When started the Vietnam war, propeller aircraft A-1 Skyraider was still the main American attack on many carriers. They regularly performed the attack on the points in Vietnam.
One of them has been an amazing story – not so much strange, but rather funny. Commander Clarence J. Stoddard from squadron VA-25 “Fist of the fleet” on the wing of his plane caught the most unusual bomb in history.
This occurred in October 1965 in the South China sea aboard the aircraft carrier “midway”. Based on this squadron VA-25 by this time managed to reset the enemy 6,000,000 pounds of ammunition. In seeking to celebrate this memorable event, technology armament got from somewhere the toilet, made it to the frame and screwed the blower fuse. Along with the usual bombs, obtained ordnance was hung on the waiting flight. All manipulations were done unbeknownst to komandovanie
While over the target in the area of the Mekong Delta, Stoddard was read to the commander a list of munitions, among them called “spetsizdelie”. The toilet was successfully dropped from a dive.
And on the bridge of the aircraft carrier still managed to notice the unusual bomb under the wing of an airplane taking off. And then another long walk jokes about the use of bacteriological weapons.
