all i know is if a foreign country put bombs here i would be out for blood....

if iwas germany i would be engaged in legal action against the united states....and i would be planning violent action as well...american bombs going off in germany thats crazy....and why the americans should be held accountable....

if the same thing was happening in the united states right now the foolish americans would be crying and war mongering....I know they would cuz i am one, and i live among them...the foolishness of the people is not matched in another comparable society....

the federal govt is the real terrorist...after all its there bombs going off all over the world....

???, I think your a bit confused my friend, or maybe you haven't taken your medication today.
We are talking about WWII unexploded ordnance from 70 years ago, not something recent. Even so, Germany started the war so any blame lies with their government at the time, and there is still German ordnance found in the UK from time to time, as I'm sure there is in many other places in Europe, as they were bombing and shelling the hell out of it long before the Americans ever got there. I have no doubt there is also live British ordnance found in Europe as we were bombing it long before the Americans as well. So lets all start suing each other shall we? or maybe we should start WWIII over unexploded ordnance!

thats nothing....
last week a WWII bomb exploded in vienna right in the danube.nobody had a glue it even existed.
when it exploded, i was about 500meters away at a friends house on the balcony.the whole 5story building was shaking, but no damage fortunately...
this could have had a bitter ending as well, as in this erea, the danube is pretty populated with merchant ships and also touristic ones. besides it was a sunny day, and many people went out to seize the nice weather before autumn comes....somebody even made a photo of the explosion and a water fountain rising about 20meters above the water surface...

It's curious to see German firemen using still the same WW2 stahlhelm pattern for their headgear!

Windows brake due to the pressure wave, right? Why not tell the building tenants to leave their windows open...

Oh I remember, because there will be burning hay flying all over the place.

thanks,

That's just insane, with all the finds in Europe with old WWII and WWI explosives. Even a few years ago here, in local So Calif, they've found Naval ordinance . . . from eras ago . . .

My friends from Vietnam and Laos still say their home villages find old US and Soviet ordnance (more US though).

Would not want to have seen / or felt a bomb going off near me, unless I wanted to see my maker early and I'm enjoying life right now

Just ask anyone who's done time in EOD.
