BBC News - WWII US bomb detonated in Munich

An unexploded World War II bomb found in Munich has been detonated after a bomb disposal team said it could not be defused.

Looking at this made me wonder what it was like for the people in that city, when hundreds of them were falling at once.

There were lots of innocents killed on all sides of the war but I don't shed many tears for the Germans or the Japanese as I had Uncles in almost every theatre of the war. A few years ago when the local crybabys were trying to guilt the US about the atom bomb someone was discussing the bombing of Japan and I told them that I had few regrets about it, probably would've never known my Uncle Jerry who was a staff Sergeant in the 38 infantry and that we probably saved lives by bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Just wow. How would you like to be that machine operator that found that?

For as much as be bombed Germany during the later stages of the war, I'm not surprised an occasional bomb is discovered. It was total war, after all.

Better watch out! If Obama finds out how we have endangered these people he will request microstamping of all bombs so he can find the person that actually did as ordered.

I wonder how many old timers saw this video and thought "I wonder if that one was mine..."

I would've left a present on my seat.

Many bombs are found each year all over Europe, not just Germany and not just bombs from WW2.
In France bombs from WW1 are found from time to time by farmers on their fields even to this date.
Lots of mines on the coasts too, on both sides of the Channel.

Obama is probably en route to apologize right now.
