| Suspected WWII bomb blasts crater in German field |
| 2019-06-26 |
[DAWN] A bomb likely dating to World War II went kaboom!in a field in western Germany leaving a huge crater but no injuries, police said on Monday. The explosion left a 10-metre (33 feet) wide and four-metre deep hole after residents in Limburg heard a loud noise and felt the earth shake on Sunday morning. "The crater was examined on Monday by an explosive ordnance clearance service to find possible fragments," a police front man said. "The area was used for target practice during the Second World War," he added. A bomb disposal service front man said it was "highly possible" WWII ordnance was involved. A local government front man in the nearby city of Darmstadt told German daily Bild it was believed the bomb had a chemical-based delayed timer which could have finally eroded. |
