"...One of the reasons that the explosives have not been removed was the
unfortunate outcome of a similar operation in July 1967 to neutralize

Folkestone in the English Channel. During preliminary work Kielce,
containing a comparable amount of ordnance, exploded with force
equivalent to an earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale, digging
a 20-foot-deep (6 m) crater in the seabed and bringing "panic and
chaos" to Folkestone, although no injuries..."

Another source, rather ironically, seems to have found god:

"Investigations after the incident found a creator measuring 153ft x
63ft x 20ft deep on the seabed with very little of the wreck left.."
