Largest ever evacuation set to take place in Frankfurt after WWII bomb found

Germany Pulls Off Largest Evacuation Since WWII

he biggest evacuation in Germany since the end of World War II has gone off with barely a hitch. On Sunday about 65,000 residents living in a one-mile area of Frankfurt had to evacuate their homes while authorities defused an unexploded bomb, the BBC reports. The WWII-era British HC 4000 bomb was discovered Tuesday at a building site, and authorities said that an uncontrolled explosion could flatten a city street. Police made sure the area was clear by using heat-sensing technology, and noted a couple of stragglers may face criminal charges.

Cool!

Looks like they already moved it onto a platform before the evacuation. Something not adding up.

I think that image is simply a stock photo used for effect. All the other pics in Germany show a simple blue tarp over it where they were digging at the construction site. Image in Op would show dirt and blue tarp in background if it was same bomb.
