The Navy expropriated two thirds of the island and used it as a live-fire range for sixty years. A stray bomb killed a civilian guard in 1999 and the protests that followed, including occupations of the range itself, ended the bombing in 2003. Cleanup of the unexploded ordnance is still unfinished.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
