WWII Bomb Explodes on German Autobahn Killing One
The German Police said that a possible WWII bomb exploded while men were working on the Autobahn (A3). They were performing highway maintenance, and thier machine hit an unexploded device that could possibly have been a British or US bomb leftover from World War II.
Yeah, that makes me feel safe, weapons of mass destruction exploding on the Autobahn while I am going 170MPH. That sounds pretty safe doesn’t it? This was just a few miles down the road from me!
Here’s the rest of the story in The Jeruselem Post. Strangly enough they were one of the first to list the AP story. I just did a search on Google and the report is only being found on Google news by two sources, none German.
Here’s an email I just got at work:
ALCON, Please disseminate to all personnel. A WWII bomb exploded on B26 where it intersects with Autobahn A3 near Goldbach on the east side of Aschaffenburg about an hour and a half ago. A3 is closed on both sides. Avoid travel on A3 until this clears up. Several German news sites are carrying the story. RNZ.de in one of them.
