A suspected World War Two bomb has exploded in a Bangkok scrap yard, killing at least seven people and injuring 19.
Workers were using a blow-torch to take the bomb apart and detonated it in the process, officials say.

FWIW I have an uncle that was involved in reconstruction after WWII in France that told us stories of slicing into UOs from WWI with excavating equipment.

The blow-torch was used to induce the bomb to take itself apart.

Saw the results of a Korean that tried to disarm an anti-tank mine in the middle of a village. His guts were hanging from the overhead wires. Two little kids went with him.
