From the September 6th BBC News: Southwest Wales.
A World War II bomb was discovered near L.lan, elli, midway on the Welsh south coast and set off in a controlled explosion. It was discovered near the Huntsman Performance Products chemical plant on Wednesday. Moved to a safe area by police and RAF experts to be assessed, it was decided it couldn't be safely disarmed and then blown up.
There was no need for evacuation, but some nearby roads were closed.
Workmen at the plant site discovered it. There was no metion whether it was Allied or German.
Those Old Bombs Are Still a Threat. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
