Nearly 10,000 evacuated as unexploded WWII bomb found near Berlin Over 9,700 people living near the central train station in the German city of Potsdam, which borders southwest Berlin, were evacuated on Wednesday morning, as a 250-kg US bomb from the Second World War was found, local media reported. Despite being good news for children who were let off school, the bomb disposal caused problems for traffic in the restricted area. “The detonating fuse is not in the best condition. If engineers dont manage to remove it, the bomb will be destroyed with a controlled blast,” a police spokesperson said, as cited by RIA-Novosti. Over 2 million bombs during WWII dropped on Germany, and some 20 percent remain unexploded.
