Officials safely detonated three World War II-era bombs that were discovered in a Florida bay.

The bombs were disposed of after being discovered back in January in the Choctawhatchee Bay in the state's panhandle. 

Footage shared on Facebook shows Okaloosa County working with partnering agencies to detonate the all-purpose bombs. 

"Fire in the hole, fire in the hole, fire in the hole," a man could be heard saying before each explosion caused water to rise from the surface.

The video caused some to ask how the bombs had ended up in the bay in the first place. Two had been found by environmental restoration contractors working for the Army Corps of Engineers, and the third had been discovered during a routine Air Force investigation. 

"Hope no one has any plans to fish that area for the next year," one Facebook user wrote in response to a subsequent Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners post that included photos of the detonations.

Eglin Air Force Base identified the unexploded ordnances as "two 250-pound bombs and a 1000-pound bomb" in a Facebook post. 

The Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners thanked the Fort Walton Yacht Club for allowing "the coordination of this multi-agency effort from the shores of their property."

Earlier this month, a 1,000-pound World War II-era bomb was unearthed at a regional airport in Florida, prompting evacuations until officials determined that the ordnance was inert.

A team from MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa was sent to dispose of the inert bomb.
