Ep. 6 - Laos: The Lost 80 Million Undetonated Bombs


Listen Later

In this episode of the podcast, we delve into the country of Laos and the 80 million undetonated bombs that no one seems to know about. 


Laos is a country located in southeast Asia, with a population of 7.3 million. Laos borders Thailand, Myanmar, China, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Because it's so close to Vietnam, it was heavily bombed during the time period of 1964 to 1973. CNN writes that “Some 80 million unexploded bombs are scattered across the country” and in the present day, Laos averages about four new casualties a week from unexploded munitions.
