Well I had my first bottle bombs in two years of brewing. Now I have to clean up. My question is how should I handle the unexploded bottles? Do they pose any danger?

Christ on a bike!Just be careful and treat them with respect. I had one blow in a box, so I lined up the bottles the counter preparing to dump. #2 blew about 10 feet from me - BANG!. Holy hell - glass shards and beer everywhere. If that bottle had been in my hand, my fiddling days would be over. 3 minutes later, I had long sleeves, chem goggles, and leather gloves on.
There was another thread here where bottle bombs destroyed a guy's glass shower. He put the box in the glass-walled shower. The bombs took out all the walls. I've seen pics of glass embedded into drywall, too.
I started kegging very shortly after my incident. Yes, it freaked me out a bit.
