Experts defuse one of two WWII bombs found in Germany 🇩🇪

Bomb disposal experts defused an unexploded World War II bomb, in the western German city of Koblenz, as a massive evacuation began in neighbouring Frankfurt to neutralise an even bigger explosive.

About 21,000 people left the area in Koblenz as the 500kg American bomb was successfully defused on Saturday before the fire brigade allowed residents to return to their homes. The operation came a day before three times as many people must leave their homes in Frankfurt to allow another bomb to be neutralised - the biggest evacuation of its kind in postwar Germany.

Frankfurt fire and police chiefs said they would use force and incarceration if necessary to clear residents, warning an uncontrolled explosion of the bomb would be big enough to flatten a city block.
