Students played 'frisbee' with land mine Two Swiss students on holiday played frisbee with an object they found on a beach unaware it was a live land mine.Lukas Aider, 20, and Christoph Kurz, 19, took a plunge in the Danube river in Budapest when they found the mine and began their potentially lethal game. A lifeguard watching stopped them and immediately called the police. A bomb squad then arrived to make safe what turned out to be an old Soviet 6 kilogrammes (13 lbs) anti-tank mine. |

| #4 These guys must have been pretty strong in order to play frisbee with a mine that weighs 6 kg. I attribute it to them having lots of extra muscles in between their ears. |

| #3 I'm assuming they were lucky it was an anti-tank mine and not an anti-personal mine which would have exploded much more readily. |

| #2 These guys must have been pretty strong in order to play frisbee with a mine that weighs 6 kg. A standard discus only weighs 2 kg. Of course, if the antitank mine had gone off, it would have taken out everybody in the immediate neighborhood. |
