This is a great time for Barry and Christie to get over there and walk through the town arm in arm. Barry can shake his Nobel “Peace” Prize medal over the bomb and then run around it three times in a clockwise direction. Magic!

If it weren’t for the war, these ingrates would be speaking German now.

The bomb outlived Bomber Harris.

Other than Pearl Harbor (and Hawaii wasn't even a state at the time), has the United States ever had bombs dropped on it by enemy aircraft?

I don't think 9/11 technically counts as our own airplanes were used as bombs.

I wouldn’t trust that thing even after they de-fuzed it.

If it hadn’t ‘sploded yet, it probly never will. But I could be wrong.

Shhh! These blockbuster bombs don't go off
unless you hit them juuuuuuuuust right.

The 1942-45 RAF/USAAF urban redevelopment plan for Germany still producing results.

NIMBY!

Special delivery—it’s a beumb.

The article said they defused it.

I have to wonder, the threads had to be quite corroded after all this time. I would not want the job of getting an old possible armed fuse loose from the fuse well.

I think those British 4,000 pounders were used in conjunction with incendiaries. Incendiaries didn’t perform well against tile roofs and brick walls. The blockbuster would open up a large area of structures for the incendiaries to fall into and ignite the flammable rubble and exposed interiors of remaining structures.

Did they even make 4000 lb bombs?

[Gamecock]

Lots of bombs still to be found.

10 years ago or so a guy was killed working on the Autobahn. The were widening a strech of road and his construction vehicle set one off.

I’d like to think my uncle dropped it, but it’s too big to have been dropped from a B-25. The Krauts killed him on his 23rd birthday in 1943.
