For visualisation, that’s one landmine per median-sized suburban lot over an area a little less than than 1/3 of Rhode Island.
Dude, this is c/Europe. “Rhode Island” and “Suburban Lot” are not comparisons that work here in any capacity 😂
Didn’t pay attention to what community I was in! In fairness, the original post mentioned square miles.
For the Europeans: in a parking lot of 238 million Fiat Pandas (1995 model year) packed bumper-to-bumper and mirror to mirror, there’s a landmine under every 158th car.
They were useful for me, an American happy to see fewer landmines in the world. 🤷♂️
