Thousands Evacuated In Hong Kong After Unexploded WW2 Bomb Was Found(Pics) by Explorers(m): 9:29am On Feb 02, 2018 |
Hong Kong police today sealed off part of a busy downtown neighborhood after an unexploded bomb was found during construction work in the Asian financial center. Around 4000 people were evacuated after the dangerous device, weighing some 500kg discovered by construction workers who are building the city's new £7,88 billion rail link. A police spokesman said explosive ordinance disposal officers were deployed to the scene in Wan Chai, the city's central business district. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5333833/Hong-Kong-bomb-experts-deployed-unexploded-bomb-found.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44 1 Share

An explosive expert said that the bomb is in a 'dangerous condition'. Police diverted traffic, while shops and offices in surrounding towers were shuttered for the rest of the day and ferry service at a nearby pier was halted. It's the second time in less than a week that a bomb has been unearthed at the site for the cross-harbor Shatin-Central commuter rail link. The area, a British colony at the time was occupied by Japanese forces between 1941 and 1945, and was the site of fierce fighting between the occupiers and British and Allied forces. Police from the explosive ordinance disposal unit defuse and hose down a the WWII-era bomb uncovered at the construction site. 1 Like

I think in 2016, this incident also happened in Augsburg (Germany). Several thousands of pple were evacuated from a part of Augsburg, and were even provided with a temporary accommodation Incase of the occurrence of an unexpected /unforeseen incident in the process of defusing the bombs. |

At about 08:00 local time (00:00 GMT) on Thursday, Explosive Ordnance Disposal officers cut a large hole through the bomb's shell to burn off the explosive material inside. After the gunpowder in the bomb burned up, it was lifted off the site by crane. "Bomb disposal operations are dirty, difficult and dangerous. In this particular case, all three were true. "It was extremely dangerous for the officers engaged in the disposal operation." The entire operation lasted about 24 hours. All buildings in the area were eventually allowed to reopen by 11:00 local time, and roadblocks were lifted by noon. 1 Like
