Expanded exclusion zone for explosive-filled doomsday wreck

The exclusion zone around the SS Richard Montgomery, a World War II shipwreck loaded with explosives, has been expanded due to safety concerns. The ship sank in 1944 off Sheerness with 14,571 bombs still onboard, and fears persist that an explosion could generate a tsunami affecting the coastline, including London. Investigations will be conducted from March 23 to April 5, while measures to reduce the wreck’s structural strain are delayed.
