It seems that the SS Montgomery is making noises.
EVACUATION ALERT after ‘humming noise’ heard at EXPLOSIVE Thames wreck SS Montgomery
"A group of Thames estuary mud walkers have reported that there is currently a humming noise coming from the wreck of the SS Montgomery.
The wrecked ship resting between Essex and Kent that has enough live explosives on board to potentially redraw the map of Northern Europe.
A team of experts from Southend are currently at the site of the wreckage, and it has now been confirmed that there is also a quiet hissing sound and the occasional ‘puff’ of smoke.
Shortly after 7pm this evening, naval chiefs activated an evacuation order as a precaution, and everyone living within 200m of the wreckage has now been ordered to leave their homes and businesses immediately. . . "
The report is a bit panting and wide-eyed, what with dire threats of NW Europe being rearranged - still, if the ca1400 tons of gear does give it up, I guess N Kent and S Essex will have some good surfing for a while.
Anybody close to the site? And-to our resident EOD/ATO experts-is the cargo still viable after so many years?
