TOOOO LAAAATE!!!

I live in England, south west. My town was bombed because of a radio station nearby. They are looking to build a new housing estate in an empty piece of land and they found the bomb while they were clearing the place. It's quite freaky actually because I've been to that area a number of times in my life and I never knew what lay beneath. They sealed off the area and blew up the bomb in a controlled way and the town was saved. :D

There's quite a few WW2 relics around here there's a few bunkers and a large fort on a hill on the coast and a number pillboxes scattered around.

Well, we're both wrong FM.

Totally forgot about the blitz on England. Yet more evidence that old age is creeping (more like sprinting) up on me.

D'OH!!!

Glad no one was hurt.

don't hit your head, else it gets worse :)

How did it end up in your town?

Edit: I did in fact post an implication about Ted Kaczynski and his cabin, but then I thought it might be taken as mean-spirited, so I changed it. Hey thanks for bringing it up.

Wait a minute... I could've sworn FM's post went something like "Bummer. Did they tow away your cabin?" a few seconds ago!

/me hits his head against the floor

Is it safe to assume that you live in Germany Hunter? If the answer is yes, that would explain how the bomb got there.

lemming diagramn time!

The is a US town where several WWII bombs were found in a trainyard. Apparently there had been a derailment on a muddy, rainy day and the cleanup crew had not been terribly careful in their "bombs lost" to "bombs recovered" math.

An old WWII bomb was found in my town today!
