Demining a 225kg bomb dating from the second world war

Very interesting Vee, we dont hear much about unexploded WWII munitions being found, maybe because most of our`s worked?

I`ve read about large areas of land around Verdun, & elsewhere along the western front of WWI that are still closed to the public because of the vast amount of unexploded shells there. The French deminers say they are removing 50,000 - 75,000 TONS of munitions a year.

Here is an article on the subject dated Nov 11, 2007:
