Massive Explosion From 80-Year-Old WWII Bomb Shown by Drone

New footage from the Devon and Cornwall Police Drone Team showed the size of the explosion from a recently-discovered World War II bomb. The one-ton device was found the day before by builders in the city of Exeter, in southwestern England. An evacuation was ordered around Exeter’s city center, as bomb disposal teams worked to secure the old munition. A day later, the device was detonated, throwing debris and leaving a massive crater. #InsideEdition

That 98-year old German: *Why did I just receive a UAV just now?*

These gender reveal parties getting out of hand.

This is like a time machine the closest we'd ever get to feeling how WW2 was when watching bombs dropping down the city.

This was just ONE 2000 pound bomb. Could you imagine what it was like when literally hundreds of those were exploding all around, especially near factories?

To hear the sounds of a war of 80 years ago that day had to have been crazy.

Back in the 1980s, my family visited the Normandy battlefields, where many of the shell craters have been planted with brambles & such to keep people out of them. Just a week after we went traipsing along the bunkers & beaches, a young boy following his father's tractor plowing a field near one of the beaches was killed when the plow accidentally detonated an old hand grenade that had been buried since the D-Day landings.

90 years old be like”I TOLD YOU THE WAR ISN’T OVER”
100 years old be like "Sits down junior and lemme tell you when i was in the army"

[saucygod]

When you accidently put 80 years on the timer instead of 80 seconds

Bomb: *explodes*
Old man: Honey there back, get cover!!!

Amazing how the consequences of WWII still affect us today in a direct manner

[Frenite]

Imagine all those bombs that haven’t even been found yet...

Some 100 year old German: “Why did I just get a pop up in my kill feed?”

[DaniMacYo]

This is terrifying and exciting at the same time. Kinda gives us a modern day view of what these things were like in action. Can’t imagine the hell the soldiers and civilians experienced when these massive explosives were raining down on them.

If that was an old bomb, imagine what kind of bombs have been designed now.

The 90 something year old German: Diese Bombe kommt mir bekannt vor

[garryjohnson]

The bomb be like " i'm maybe old, but still kicking yoo..".

While using my metal detector in Ukraine in 2008, I found an unexploded artillery round that was not quite covered by an inch of soil. Marked it with a marker flag and gave the info to a policeman friend. They took care of it. I've found many safer interesting things while detecting..
