To celebrate the six millionth pound of ordnance dropped, American pilots secretly converted a toilet into a bomb and dropped it over Vietnam.

The damaged toilet was supposed to be thrown overboard, but was saved by a pilot. Creative ordnance crews then fitted it with tail fins, a detonator as well as the unit's emblem.

On the day of the drop, everyone wanted to take souvenir photos, but it was also important not to cause too much of a stir. A crew member therefore always stood right between the plane and the command bridge so that the senior officers could not get a glimpse of the payload. It was only after the plane had been shot off, that the bridge suddenly radioed, “What the hell was on 572’s right wing?”

The toilet was flown without incident to North Vietnam, where it was dropped over an unpopulated area. A wingman filmed how the toilet detached from the wing, immediately began to spin, and almost hit his own plane.

No one but the toilet was harmed, however, and the aircraft carrier's crew joked about the action for a long time afterward.

The Toilet Bomb is currently a thing in War Thunder if you get the Battle Pass.

Imagine dying and explaining to the grim reaper that you were killed by a toilet

[entarr]

Toilet ordnance should be a thing in the next battlefield game

[TheClassicalSauce]

No one was harmed by the toilet, but the U.S. proceeded to drop 10 tons of napalm later in the mission.

"We're in a world of shit" makes so much sense now.

[lordtoe]

It was filled with ordinance alright. Definitely puts a different meaning to dirty bomb.

This reminds me of a story an old WW2 veteran told at his friend’s funeral a few years ago. They were in the same B-17 crew and the night before a bombing run the chow hall ended up giving everyone dysentery. So half way to Germany they couldn’t hold it and they used the only thing they could find, their helmets. He said that whole morning they dropped helmets full of diarrhea on the Germans. He got such a kick out of it even so many years afterwards

[Nopnop]

What a wholesome way to celebrate dropping 6, 000, 000lbs of ordinance on a place😂😂😂

[aristotlekaiser]

Not in the military but I hardcore relate to concealing shenanigans from my boss until it’s too late for them to do anything

[Solstice_AC]

"Sir, the enemies are attacking us !"
"With what ?"
"Explosive diarrea !"

[owtkast]

Worked in USAF aircraft maintenance for a dozen years and have zero surprise that this happened.

[SLAYER_.]

That’s some explosive shit right there…

[timothyhudson]

Not everyone in the military has a sense of humor. But those who do make it so much more enjoyable for the rest of us.

The pilot then went on to wipe out a village of civilians with his actual bombs

[MerchantIvoryfilms]

How would you like to be that one guy in the kill feed: "You were killed by a toilet"

[anubis]

Captain: *"Who removed my toilet from my office? "*

[nataliemoss]

Actually, this wasn’t as secret as you thought. In the military their was a joke when the commander asked the navy, “did you give it to Em?” And the pilot said I threw everything except the kitchen sink. So later on, the crew strapped a kitchen sink to a bomb under the sky raider and dropped by Lt Carl b Austin on Pyongyang. After that it was pretty much a fad everywhere

Remember guys, the most important part of warfare is to have fun

[EclipsedKingdom]

Takes the term "Eat shit!" to a whole new level

[richardbidinger]

Put a whole new meaning to "Shit happens".
