Mitholz - the tranquil Swiss village facing a time bomb
"I was 12," she says. "I, my mother and my grandmother were asleep. There was a huge explosion, we saw fire everywhere, and mum said: 'We've got to get out!'
The explosion came from a vast World War Two Swiss army munitions depot buried in the mountain above Mitholz.
It was supposed to be safe but, in December 1947, 3,000 tonnes of ammunition blew up in what was, at the time, the world's biggest non-nuclear explosion.
Unfortunately that alpine idyll is about to change. Three thousand tonnes of ammunition may have blown up in 1947, but 3,500 tonnes were left. "They tell us they have to remove it from the mountain so we all have to leave," says Sven.
It's not the first time Switzerland has had to remove dangerous explosives from public spaces.
During World War Two, many key tunnels, alpine passes and bridges were mined, in a bid to thwart invasion. The practice continued during the Cold War, and for decades the explosives stayed where they were, apparently forgotten.
In 2001, 11 people died in the Gotthard Tunnel when a fire broke out following a collision between two lorries. It emerged that large quantities of explosives stored there years ago were still in a depot close to the tunnel mouth.

Yes....similarly, the land mines in south east asia (ie. vietnam, combodia etc.) are still causing some serious problems for the locals there, and yet very little or no concrete steps are being taken to produce, transfer or stockpile anti-personal landmines to minimize human loss or damage. In fact, every hour, people die or lose limbs from stepping on a landmine. But, the saddest part is, most of these victims are civilians, who are living in countries at peace. Quite sad really...

I meant to say "stop producing, transferring or stockpiling".
