Bombs continue to explode


I enjoyed this movie and went looking for the current status of bomb disposal. Evidently, it is still a big problem in Germany. Just this August, a 550 pound bomb destroyed a building and blew out windows for hundreds of yards when authorities decided the discovered bomb was too dangerous to defuse.

Spectacular pictures of the resulting explosion and a discussion of how every day two or three new bombs are found in Germany. The bomb triggers have decayed making them increasingly unstable and difficult to defuse.

I wonder if the current bomb disposal experts have any occasion to use reference materials developed by bomb disposal units like the one in this movie.
