Missle/tank shell found on the street in the Bronx.

[Renew Deal]

June 15, 2004 -- Somebody dropped a real bombshell on The Bronx yesterday — a fearsome-looking, missile-shaped, military canister that left residents panicked and the police bomb squad flocking to the scene.



"I was playing outside, and all of a sudden, police came down the block and we saw a big bomb in the middle of the street," said Vernon Allen, 15.

"They told us to back up, and they put tape around the whole block. And it was just sitting there."

Police rushed to the spot after receiving a 911 call around 6 p.m. reporting the bizarre, terrifying sight of the blue metal military shell, about 4 to 5 feet long, ominously looming upright at the intersection of Rosedale and Randall avenues.
