Found in the river: in England a 250-kilogram bomb of World War II exploded (video)

According to journalists, the bomb was found by a local contractor. It was to be liquidated, but the explosion occurred prematurely. A 250-pound bomb of World War II exploded in the city of Greek Yarmouth, located in Norfolk county. She was found on Tuesday at the river crossing. Local services worked on its liquidation, but the explosion happened. About it writes The Guardian. According to the County police, no one was injured as a result of the explosion.

It is reported that army experts cut the bomb using a technique that provokes slow burning of the explosives and burns the material. At the same time, during the procedure, the military said that there was a risk of an unintentional explosion. "It was not an explosion planned, it happened during the slow burning of explosives," the power department said.

The publication writes that the bomb cut work began on Thursday, but the water required for work reduced the efficiency of the sand barrier around the explosion. A 400-meter environment was built on the site of the work. Norfolk's Main Constable Assistant Nick Dvison said that the disposal of such a bomb is a long and painstaking process. "The public safety and safety of the people who participated in the operation were the focus on decision -making," he said.

The police also noted that all the fences would soon be taken away. A representative of Cadent, who controls the local gas pipeline network, said the pipes were not damaged. Earlier, Focus wrote that the heroic pilot of Boeing saved hundreds of passengers. On January 10, the passenger liner flying to Denmark with Qatar began to fall sharply. In seconds, the height decreased by hundreds of meters. Only the rapid action of the captain saved people from the inevitable death.
