Unexploded WWII ordnance discovered under busy Warsaw street
The discovery led to part of the city centre being shut down.
Construction workers unearthed an unexploded World War Two bomb beneath a busy road in central Warsaw, prompting a shutdown of part of the city. The discovery on Solidarity Avenue came just days after the anniversary of the city's 1944 uprising against Nazi occupation. Traffic was diverted and residents advised to stay indoors while experts safely removed the 70 cm long ordnance. The unexplained fate of the bomb remained a mystery after experts concluded their investigation.
