Bomb squad was called to the San Francisco General Hospital this morning,
to disarm an artillery projectile that was stuck in a patients anal
cavity.
The 47-year old patient arrived at the hospital around 9:00 AM with a live
M107 155mm howitzer projectile stuffed in his rectum.
The SFPD bomb squad was immediately called on the site to disarm the
massive ammunition. A large portion of the hospital had to be evacuated in
case the projectile exploded.
According to San Francisco Police Department spokesperson, Lt. Linda Hall,
the shell could have destroyed most of the building if it had exploded.
This was a very delicate situation involving powerful military
explosives. If it had blown up, there would have been hundreds of
victims.
It took explosive experts more than two hours to successfully disarm the
explosive device, allowing doctors to remove it from the patients cavity.
The fact that the shell was stuck inside a patient made disarming it very
complicated. Fortunately, these guys are the best in the world and they
were able to accomplish a miracle.
The patients name hasnt been made public, but the San Francisco Police
Department has confirmed that it had opened an investigation to determine
how the man had acquired the artillery shell.
The possession of such powerful military projectiles is illegal in
California and can lead to sentences of up to 10 years in prison.
The man could also face several other criminal charges like possession of
an explosive device, negligent manipulation of an explosive device and
endangering the life of others.
