The art of defusing a Second World War bomb

The Guardian has published a feature on bomb disposal experts who still defuse unexploded Second World War ordnance found across Britain and Europe. The piece explains how devices powerful enough to 'knock a whole street down' are identified, excavated and made safe decades after the war ended, with controlled detonations regularly disrupting cities.

Why now: Renewed interest in how wartime bombs are still routinely discovered and neutralised in European cities.
