So I know you can't read this and neither can I, but a construction company found a LIVE WWII bomb buried in a playground somewhere in Berlin. One of my BYU roommates - Alyssa is a teacher in Berlin and has a friend living in the nearby apt complex to this park. They have evacuated the area until at least tomorrow. She said the German Govt believes there to be 3000!!! undetonated and buried bombs in and around Berlin......talk about scary!?
UPDATE: BERLIN - Three experts working to defuse a bomb dating back to World War II were killed when the device exploded, injuring six others, police said Wednesday.
Some 7,000 residents from around the area in the central German town of Goettingen, where the 1100-pound (500-kilogram) heavy bomb was found, were still being evacuated when it detonated late Tuesday.
Construction workers had found the 65-year-old explosive device about seven yards (meters) below the ground on an empty where the city is currently building a sport arena........................................
Unexploded bombs from Allied bombardments and World War I are found regularly in Germany. Only a few days before, another bomb was found in Goettingen and it was successfully defused.
