American WWII Bomb Unearthed, Defused In Hong Kong
A 2,000-pound bomb dropped in World War II on Japanese-occupied Hong Kong by an American bomber has been defused after it was unearthed at a construction site in the city's central Happy Valley district.
Some 2,200 Hong Kong residents were evacuated from apartment buildings around the site where the massive explosive was found. Police bomb squads moved in, carefully, to dismantle the bomb. Authorities said it was simply too big to explode in place, which is usually the safest option in such circumstances.
