Munich: A World War II bomb found in Munich city of Germany has been safely detonated after a bomb disposal team said it could not be defused.
The bomb was discovered on Monday night by building workers at the site of an old bar during its demolishment.
Experts said they decided it was not possible to defuse the 250kg device because it did not have a mechanical fuse.
Thousands of Munich residents had to be evacuated before the explosion.
But despite all the precautions, the explosion still caused massive damages, shattering windows, busting doors and burning out buildings.
Thirty fire engines and 200 firemen were on site to battle the blazes.
“Virtually all the window panes around the area have gone, but luckily no one was injured, and that is the main thing,” said Diethard Posorski, head of the team that carried out the explosion.
