Wow! WWII bomb found near Paris

World War II ended 80 years ago, and yet we continue to find explosives and bombs in various locales.  But here is a case where a half ton unexploded bomb was found in a fairly populated area.

They've brought in people to dispose of it, but given its size, location,  and age, it is a delicate operation that may take some time to handle properly.

Its amazing just how much destruction was wrought during that war, and for that matter the Great War that happened 20 years before that.

French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said that the huge disruptions were caused by the discovery of a bomb that weighed half a ton. Workers found it overnight while doing earthmoving works near the tracks in the Seine-Saint-Denis region that borders Paris to the north. Bomb disposal experts were called.
