It was here recently... They can't remove it, because it still has tons of explosives in it (unless me memory fails me)

I hope somehow the explosives can be removed.

I think the norm is to just leave them and let them degrade into harmlessness. Nobody's gone and blown themselves up after all this time, it's probably safe to just leave it.

There's a bunch of stuff like this in the North sea iirc

Call in the Mythbusters and let them blow it up. For science.

Oh I know that river from the Beautiful Blue Danube! Great song. Not so great that it’s being effected by a drought and sunken nazi warships tho :(

Army fighting - bring ships

Army losing - self sink 200 ships in river to potentially create an underwater barrier to block enemy's ship from crossing

Decades later, army long dissolved & gone.

But the other government from the other country where ships are nesd to fork out money to clean and remove the sunken ships.

So.. you do today what you want, someone else cleans up tomorrow what somebody else wants.
