250 kg bomb found under Schwabinger 7

[Guest]

I was wondering where I'd left that :unsure:

Did they close off any streets?

 

Can't really read German yet :-(

That's one more missing bomb we can take off the list. Now lets see only.....to go.

10-15 years ago The 7 was one of my main haunts. It was a hole one could guarantee damn fine music and dangerous women in, and twas but a mere crawl away from my then apartment. I even got barred from it. I've licked Marmite off Mrs. Riina's fingers there, and lots of other stuff too unmentionable on a family web forum.

 

And still the bomb didn't go off!!!

Luckily it was discovered before some poor worker accidently detonated it. Five hundred odd pounds of high explosive would definately ruin soneone's neighborhood.

 

Because of the tonnage of bombs that were dropped on Germany during WWII this will unfortunately be a problem for years to come.

Considering the tonnage of bombs that were dropped during WWII Germany will unfortunately be dealing with problem for a long time.

You mean drag the bomb over to The SciCo's HQ and give it a kick until it starts tickin'?

 

I like your thinkin' there, Bro :D

Yeah but editor Bob says we cant organise Toytown events anymore...and expect free beer.

Haha, of all places. I guess it's not so bad that they moved the Sieben after all ...

So gutted, I just went out to go grab a McDonalds from the Munchner Freiheit one and literally could get nowhere near Mü-Fr. No late night fast food for me I guess it serves me right for being greedy.

For the last 1/2 an hour or so I keep on hearing what sounds like a police car going up and down Leopaldstrasse in Schwabing with a tannoy going. I know it starts "Actung, actung" and mentions something about the street, but I can't get any of the rest of it.. Does anyone know what it is saying? Is it something I need to worry about?

American bombers

The bomb under Schwabinger 7 that you mentioned.

It's about this WWII bomb.

 

They are evacuating a 300m radius around Feilitzschstr. 9, see map.

 

Süddeutsche article on this.

I live two buildings away from ground zero. It's fricking scary right now as fire depth announcing we have to be ready to evacuate..

Just an update for anyone still reading. I have just seen an article, and a friend on Hesseloherstr has filled me in. They tried to defuse the bomb at 8.30 as planned, after half hour had problems. The bomb will now be blown ON THE SPOT at dawn tomorrow. Evacuation radius is now 600m. Good luck to anyone living close! :(

Was it "Achtung, Spitfire" ???

[efc78 11]

Very exciting! I still wish I'd have got my McDonalds though. Stupid bomb.

[Hefeweizen 338]

So I wonder who the guilty party is, the Royal Air Force or the U.S. Army Air Corps?

 

Those explosive ordnance technicians have testicles the size of grapefruit and nerves of steel, either that or they are just flat crazy. :P

According to the absolutely hilarious google translation that Pandamunich supplied in post #14, can't say who's responsible, but it is of US origin.
