The two AV-8B Harrier jets launched from aircraft carrier USS Bonhomme Richard each jettisoned an inert practice bomb and an unarmed laser-guided explosive bomb into the World Heritage-listed marine park off the coast of Queensland state on Tuesday, the U.S. 7th Fleet said in a statement Saturday.

This should be pinned and Australians should be outraged at this abuse of the coral reef system, especially since 1/3 of that coral reef system is dead! Also the comments to the story at RT are very telling! Thanks OP Life's a Beach, then you Dive!
