I am somewhat in between amazed and terrified. Amazed, that the bomb somehow still worked, terrified because in Europe there are a lot of them left. Never ever thought that they could still explode.
- I live in Germany and where I live at least once a weak a WWII bomb is found and defused. Rarely they have to be exploded in a controlled way and even more rarely they explode on their own. For me these findings are a normal annoyance when train lines or streets are blocked because of defusal.
