TROUBLING: Underwater Bomb Found at Dam that Supplies Drinking Water for Entire Alabama City

This is extremely concerning…

On Tuesday, divers were performing a routine maintenance check at the Converse Reservoir dam in Mobile, AL when they came across an underwater grenade-type IED bomb!

This dam is responsible for providing drinking water to the entire city.

This local news clip dove deeper into the troubling story:

WHAT THE HELL?!!!!

Divers doing a ROUTINE maintenance check at the Converse Reservoir dam in Mobile, AL…

…just found an underwater IED!!!!

Apparently a grenade-type bomb was sitting submerged at the bottom of a dam that holds an entire city’s DRINKING WATER.

It took FIVE agencies: the FBI, ALEA, the Sheriff, Mobile PD, and a maritime render-safe team, to pull it out and detonate it.

Someone put a BOMB in our water supply…

WHERE IS THE NATIONAL COVERAGE?!!!

The bomb was retrieved and safely detonated by the proper agencies.

AL reported further:

After the grenade type-IED was located at the Converse Reservoir dam, MAWSS contacted the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office which facilitated a multi-agency response to retrieve and detonate the explosive.

The Gulf Coast Regional Maritime Response and Render-Safe Team performed a successful retrieval and detonation of the IED.

“Our top priority is keeping your drinking water safe,” Bud McCrory, MAWSS director, said.

“This is an unprecedented threat, and we are fortunate that this device was discovered before it could cause serious damage to our water supply or harm to individuals. We are grateful for the professionalism and competency of our law enforcement partners – as well as the quick thinking of our contractors and divers – in identifying this device and safely destroying it.”

Needless to say, this could have been much worse if divers had not discovered the threat.

At this time, authorities have no idea how long the bomb had been there or who put it there.

It’s also very strange how little coverage this is getting in the press.

DC_Draino shared some thoughts:

This seems like it should be a bigger deal.

Allegedly, a bomb was found on critical dam infrastructure in Alabama.

Leftist terrorism?

Foreign attack?

We need answers. https://t.co/OLOZB5n92k pic.twitter.com/g1P4aCXhmb
