solar flares make magnetic mines explode......

quote;
There was an additional effect, long buried in the Vietnam War archives that adds credence to the severity of the storm impact: a nearly instantaneous, unintended detonation of dozens of sea mines south of Hai Phong, North Vietnam on 4 August 1972. The US Navy attributed the dramatic event to ‘magnetic perturbations of solar storms.’

not necessarily....this might be a big payday if you were far enough away....those mines would have "stunned" a lot of fish.
