Not a rumor. The first plan was to detonate the ordinance in a "safe" area near the railyard. There was a lot of advance notice as to the timing of the disposal but when the first bomb went off, the plan was scrapped. The remaining ordinance was moved to an area out of state (I don't know the exact location) for disposal.

Talk about a PR nightmare for the Espee. Setting off large ordinance in an urban area was dumb IMHO.
