A munitions cleanup at Odyssey Middle School during the holiday break unearthed more than 400 pounds of World War II-era bombs and rockets along with 2,000 pounds of debris on the school grounds and under the running track.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to blow up the bombs and rockets today at the southeast Orlando school. Residents should expect to hear several large blasts.
Among the items found since Dec. 27 are about 50 fragmentation bombs, several rockets, a rocket booster and a 37 mm cannon, according to the Army Corps.
