Marines Identify Rare Fuze Glitch as Cause of Artillery Shell Explosion Near Camp Pendleton
During a live-fire demonstration for the Marine Corps 250th birthday, a 155mm round from howitzers on Red Beach detonated 1,500 feet in the air, causing shrapnel to hit an empty California Highway Patrol car. Investigators found a one-in-a-million malfunction in an electronic time fuze, clearing the Marines of any mistakes. The final report, released on March 13th, will lead to tweaks in safety measures to prevent future issues.
