A Blast from the Past !

No, this is not an oversized potatoe - it's a bomb! !
This little meany from the past - World War 2 - caused quite a
stirr in Stuttgart, Schlossgarten Germany on Saturday.

People were evacuated from their homes and taken to safer
places, while bomb experts deactivated the big boy!

Since 1946 more than 24,000 bombs were deactivated in
Baden-Württemberg, unfortunately 13 staff members of the bomb
squad lost their lives during the dangerous mission.

That's an awful lot of bombs in Germany!!

The saying goes "Where there's one snake, there are usually
more....!"
Let's hope in this case - this was the last snake to be flattened!!

Hard to believe they can stay active for that long. But I guess you must treat any bomb as an active one.........just ask those 13 men who lost their lives, huh....scarey.....

That is the one thing the US didn't face, having wore happen right here on this soil, not until 9/11...

Kevin: That must have been a living nightmare, and I'm glad I wasn't born during that horrid time!

Katt: Girl, I'm seriously considering your suggestion :-)

Fink: Which bomb?!

Nea: That is indeed a mystery why such a dangerous thing can "sleep" for so long ! ! Hitler and Bin Laden were a couple of very nasty boys!
