Buried WWII bomb closes London airport

Thanks for letting us know CW5 Jack Cardwell that "London City Airport was closed on Sunday after construction workers discovered a World War II bomb in the nearby Thames River.
"Following the discovery of a World War II ordnance in King George V Dock as part of planned development works, a 214m exclusion zone has been implemented," the airport said in a statement. "As a result, London City Airport is currently closed."
Metropolitan police were called after the bomb was revealed. The Royal Navy was also deployed to the scene and confirmed the nature of the bomb, the police reported.
"The airport is cooperating fully with the Met Police, Royal Navy and London Borough of Newham," the airport's statement added."

Hopefully the bomb and fuse are inert at this point and it will be extracted and disposed of EOD with no incidents.

FYI, one of my cousins is living in London.

And are there more out there - you bet.

I am glad that it is someone else that gets to have the “fun” of defusing a bomb. When I was in bomb investigation school it was stressed “YOU AINT A BOMB DEFUSING EXPERT! You go to work AFTER the bomb goes boom!!”
