The construction management board of Thach Ha District found the bomb during pre-construction digging for a road. The bomb was 1.7 metres long and had a diameter of 35 cm. It was located within one of the key bombing sites of the American War.
Upon learning of the bomb, the Military Command of Ha Tinh Province quickly arrived at the site and blocked off traffic. They also cooperated with municipal authorities to move the bomb to a shooting range in Ngoc Son Commune where it was detonated under controlled conditions.
