仙台、福岡、那覇も点検へ　宮崎空港不発弾爆発で―斉藤国交相

　宮崎空港の誘導路で米国製の不発弾が爆発した事故を受け、斉藤鉄夫国土交通相は４日の閣議後記者会見で、宮崎のほか仙台、福岡、那覇など過去に不発弾が発見されている各空港でも、改めて点検するよう指示したと明らかにした。
　宮崎空港では、誘導路の路肩部分で不発弾が見つかっており、再点検では路肩部分を重点的に磁気探査する。４空港以外でも実施するかは検討中という。（2024/10/04-11:08）

Japan's transport minister Tetsuo Saito said Friday he has instructed checks for unexploded shells at three domestic airports on top of Miyazaki Airport, where a World War II U.S. bomb exploded on Wednesday.
   The three are Sendai Airport in the northeastern prefecture of Miyagi, Fukuoka Airport in the southwestern prefecture of Fukuoka and Naha Airport in the southernmost prefecture of Okinawa.
   Besides the airport in Miyazaki Prefecture, southeast of Fukuoka, dud shells have already been found at the three airports. At Naha Airport, in particular, as many as eight such shells have been discovered so far this year, including one found just Thursday.
   Planned magnetic surveys will focus on taxiway shoulders, after Wednesday's explosion took place on a taxiway shoulder and created an oval hole around 7 meters long, 4 meters wide and a meter deep. The accident paralyzed Miyazaki Airport for the whole day.
