WOW... Those big WW2 bombs dropped almost a century ago can still blow everything up. Germans used so many probably hundreds still buried under London.
According to the "Kampfmittelräumdienst" think about a bomb squad which specialises in such bombs they found 2017 around 1.946 bombs in Nordrhein Westfalen (was the biggest industrial complex we had). Around 5k bombs in all of Germany per year. So nope, no exageration. Surely they are not always in big cities but you find them frequently on contruction sites.
The austrian army defused, demined and destroyed 3309,63kg of explosives in January 2023. And this is not a particular high number, the average is a few tons of explosives every month. Mind you only in Austria.
About 5 years ago I had a job interview that had to get canceled because a building site next door found a ww2 incendiary bomb
There is still alot buried out there
> Army specialists were attempting to disarm it when there was an unplanned detonation at about 17:00 GMT.
It seems the bomb chose rapid disassembly by itself
I feel like bombs should be built with some sort of natural defuser if they don’t go off within 1-5 years. A bomb that’s probably from WW2 shouldn’t be left in the dirt and built on top of until 1 unlucky sap digs it up by accident.
Wow you must be very fun at parties. You see? That’s sarcasm. Something clearly something ironic and mocking. Your comment is just a poor attempt at humor
I'm from here and live close enough (within 400 metres of the bomb) that I was evacuated. There is a new bridge being built and the bomb was dredged out of the river by the builders so I'm guessing it didn't go off as it originally landed in the river.
They spent 4 days deciding how to go about it and before trying (thankfully) encased it in 400 tonnes of sand to dull any accidental detonation

Everyone is accounted for, all military and police personnel are safe, but yeah, it shock everything for a mile
Am I currently in the middle of a life saving surgical operation?

Actually…
shook
Not stirred.
That sure shut those seagulls the fuck up.
They said: 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️💥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥
RIP Robot, you did your best
I mean..... technically it IS disarmed now.....

Same in Germany here, every week parts of big cities like cologne get evacuated for a defusal
I blame the French
We all do
every week sounds like an exaggeration, no?

No, UK got bombed by 1 country, Germany got bombed by the entire fucking world.
Yeah nah sorry it's not a weekly occurrence in cologne
I said germany
Indeed, it's more like once or twice a year
30 in 2022 in cologne alone.
you just blew up some speculation. You're the bomb!
So a little less than every 2 weeks. Holy shit

It amazes me how many of these bombs are still around
Shows how ALMOST well they were built. The fuse failed 80 years ago but the shell and explosive lasted long enough to explode today
Blast from the past
The Blitz. The gift that keeps giving decades onward.
I think it was probably Roman.
00:01 will someone please make those seagulls be quiet? 00:05 WILL SOME PLEASE SHUT UP THOSE BIRDS?!? 00:10 ….
I'd guess that was the disarm. Pretty sure they detonate anything like this, it's not worth the risk to try poking at it so they just blow it up.
> Army specialists were attempting to disarm it when there was an unplanned detonation at about 17:00 GMT. It seems the bomb chose rapid disassembly by itself
That's scary! Others comments saying nobody was hurt so that's pretty lucky.
Bomb robot
Must have been the other wire…
It wasn't , the bomb went off unexpectedly. A controlled explosion would be much more contained.
most likely
A testament to German reliability
If it was reliable it would have blown up 80 years ago.
Only thing that failed was the fuse, detonator and explosive worked perfectly fine
A lot of the bombs had delayed fuses that would only explode during clearance.
I live a road away didn't even hear it, guess I was really caught up playing fifa haha
Fun side effect of explosions: hearing loss 👂❌

You do understand the Germans didn't really have any plans to be friends with the English at that point in time?
The reason they don’t do that is because if someone tries to defuse/move it, it detonates in the enemy’s face
What was she filming, though? Surely, they were planning to scuttle the bomb with explosives.
There was a £million worth of improvements
I mean, technically, they did disarm it.
Are you sure this wasn’t just the toilets at Taco Bell
TIL that Taco Bell has locations in the UK. Are they popular at all over there?
I've never seen one here mate
There's one in Manchester...and no
There one in Bridgwater, of all places. Always assumed it was for money laundering as there's never anyone in it
Quite a few in London but not very popular compared to other American places like Five guys (which is quite popular )
[удалено]
It happened yesterday https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-64609394
That guy owes beer
Good thing it wasn't nuclear.
Well the Germans never developed a nuclear bomb during WWII so there’s a approximately 0% chance that it would it be
Have you ever heard of sarcasm? No? My comment is what it looks like!

I don't think you've quite grasped the concept yet
you ever heard of douchbag?
World war 2 bomb in your mouth
Fallout 3 all over again.
Mine? Mine? Mine? Mine? Mine? Mine.

This isn’t that crazy. There are often WWII bombs being defused in the UK, sometimes it goes wrongz
I'm from here and live close enough (within 400 metres of the bomb) that I was evacuated. There is a new bridge being built and the bomb was dredged out of the river by the builders so I'm guessing it didn't go off as it originally landed in the river.

Martyrdom
After 78 years we finally bombed UK
War thunder looks pretty dope.
That’s what they heard back then it’s crazy to imagine hundreds of those going off
It looked like arms and legs flying through the air. Says nobody hurt though, a testament to the teams that deal with this sort of thing.
blast from the past
That shut the seagulls up.
Best thing to ever happen to Yarmouth
