It's curious to see German firemen using still the same WW2 stahlhelm pattern for their headgear! :)

Windows brake due to the pressure wave, right? Why not tell the building tenants to leave their windows open...

Oh I remember, because there will be burning hay flying all over the place.

thats nothing....
last week a WWII bomb exploded in vienna right in the danube.nobody had a glue it even existed.
when it exploded, i was about 500meters away at a friends house on the balcony.the whole 5story building was shaking, but no damage fortunately...
this could have had a bitter ending as well, as in this erea, the danube is pretty populated with merchant ships and also touristic ones. besides it was a sunny day, and many people went out to seize the nice weather before autumn comes....somebody even made a photo of the explosion and a water fountain rising about 20meters above the water surface...

How kewl lucky you! Wish I could have seen and felt that.

thanks,

That's just insane, with all the finds in Europe with old WWII and WWI explosives. Even a few years ago here, in local So Calif, they've found Naval ordinance . . . from eras ago . . .

My friends from Vietnam and Laos still say their home villages find old US and Soviet ordnance (more US though).

Would not want to have seen / or felt a bomb going off near me, unless I wanted to see my maker early and I'm enjoying life right now :D

Just ask anyone who's done time in EOD.
