It's Mine. No, It's Mine

Tanks For Nothing, Say Swiss Frisbee Players

Two Swiss students on holiday played frisbee with an object they found on a beach - unaware it was a live land mine. Lukas Aider, 20, and Christoph Kurz, 19, were swimming in the Danube in Budapest when they found the mine and began their potentially lethal game. An alert lifeguard stopped them and immediately called the police. A bomb squad then arrived to identify the object, which turned out to be an old Soviet anti-tank mine, weighing six kilograms.

FOOTNOTE: They got the flight of their lives.
