A WW2 Bomb exploded in Devon Exeter after civilians were evacuated from the ancient England city. It was not too long ago that the unexploded Devon Exeter WWII bomb was found on Glenthorne Road raising immediate alarm for the potential havoc it could cause. Evacuations started after Devon and Cornwall Police said the device would be detonated during the evening.
Almost 3,000 homes and the University of Exeter were vacated in the hours before the WWII bomb was scheduled to be exploded. The explosion experts attempting making the area safe by using a 8,000 lbs “sand box” that limited the outward force of the massive explosion. Photos of the bomb before the explosion showed a rusted brown colored device that looked almost like the missiles seen in Mario games.
