so they just found a 500kg bomb near my house
 

They were doing road works and found a 500kg undetonated ww2 bomb about 300 meters from my house. Police have the whole area quarantined off and they've got mine sweepers working on it right now. Just wanted to mention that so that if I suddenly stop posting here and answering icq's, that's what happened :1orglaugh

Dang! Careful where you step!

it's a german one right ? wow

wasn't me :helpme

It's tough to say. The area I live in used to be part of east germany (Breslau/Wrocław), so it might be ally, german, or even russian

Holy shit, they have good crews that disarm them but it is a manual process. Hope it doesn't blow or you will be fucked.

Best of luck, or you could always go stay with friends or family.

I'll probably be ok, it's all farm field between me and the bomb except an overpass, so if anything the overpass will get fucked up but absord the hit.

Might be a dud anyway.

Almsot certainly a dud because it didn't explode on impact when it got dropped

Holy crap be careful!

You are soon to be a polish dog. Yum.

Oh I was thinking that it was a bomb for tanks.

yeah but duds can be even more dangerous because theres a number of reasons why it didn't go off. If the reason was it just missed the contact feature by a centimetre or less and they start moving it around... hehe

Now that they have pros on it i'm sure you are good though.

Naw if it was just a piece of artillery they wouldn't block the road off. It's like a bigass airplane bomb.

According to google, it looks like one of these:

Yup you are correct, they usually detonate the shit under controlled circumstances. Moving it or further disturbing it is not a wise move:2 cents:

Bombs can be dangerous, just so you know...

I'm pretty sure they disarm it on the spot and then take it away. I doubt disarming it is too difficult (albiet dangerous). A bomb like this doesn't need any sort of anti-tampering type stuff, and i'm sure everything is rusted to shit.

bad ass....

if you think you're freaked, imagine the guy who found it lol

its the rust and corrosion I was thinking about :winkwink:

sounds like the allies were trying to bomb the overpass and cripple the nazi machine

go do this

probably german.... sorry to hear that... pay attention thus things can surprise (explode) exactly when you don't expect...

Naw since it didn't explode i suspect it's russian made :1orglaugh

500kg...is that like 10 ounces?

This kind of stuff happens all the time. WW2 was so massive and there was so much destruction involved that they'll be finding stuff for the next hundred years. I read a while back they were building something in Berlin and they discovered an unknown secret bunker. Also yesterday it was announced they found an old German WW2 bomber off the coast of England in pristine condition. Amazing stuff.

I'm still wondering where most of the loot went. There was so much unaccounted for, and I'm guessing it's buried in some cave or bunker.

Konrad, I keep telling you that YOU DA BOMB :D

In all seriousness, though, here's the story behind this kind of stuff that keeps being found around our beautiful city of Wroclaw. If anyone's interested in WW2 history, that is.

Don't worry, one day your country will join rest of the world and use metric :1orglaugh
Freezing at 32f, boiling at 212f, 12 inches in a foot, what kind of blasphemy is this?

next time you have to hide it better ...

A friend of mine used to live in this house when he was a kid, and after a while they moved out and his dad sold it. The guy who bought it a few years later was doign some kind of renovations, took down a wall and found something like 8 million euros worth of treasure.

Did he get to keep it?

Naw i heard it was taken by the...i don't know the word in english but the guys who conserve national treasures and antiques, and he got like 10% value of it or something. It was some jewish paintings and gold and shit stolen by nazi's and hidden in wall of that house.

Just do what John did and run very very fast in the other direction

why would the nazis have hidden it, more likely that the jews hid it

also thank you for standing up for the metric system i still dont get why americans dont just get on board

In the English countryside, old relics like Pill Boxes and concrete support for guns are very common.

heard that nazi's stole it from some castle and then hid it there for later.

if its a british bomb, do not worry. its unlikly to work. most british stuff does not work.

k0nr4d- you sound pretty badass today with that bomb in yer yard :)

Stay Safe!!

that's very bad news. Ouch!

Why wouldn't they? There have been reports of Nazi treasures around the world. When the walls were closing in, move out the goods to use in the next life.

Although stuck in a wall right in Germany, that would be a bad spot to hide, LOL.

they just found a 1lb bong next to my house

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...qi =&aql=&oq=

500 kilograms = 17 636.981 ounces

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...qi=g1&aql=&oq=

500 kilograms = 1 102.31131 pounds

lol yeah thats what i was thinking if they didnt win then they must have known germany wouldnt be where they would be staying but i guess everyone forgets a stash or two when they have so many

please don´t submit your Paxum adress verification today,perhaps you´ll move soon. :Oh crap

sooo bad on soo many levels


seriously - be safe dude. Bombs are scarry

I remember a few years back they kept finding a load of bombs in London when they were redeveloping the docklands.

I don't think any have gone off unintentionally.

so it turns out that the bomb is on MY side of the overpass. if that thing goes off then i really am fucked. I'll see if i can go take some pics later.

Cut the green wire.
