The delicate art of defusing Second World War bombs
Original: The art of defusing a second world war bomb
The Guardian has published an interactive feature on bomb disposal experts who still neutralise unexploded Second World War devices found across Europe, explaining how a single bomb could flatten an entire street. Readers are sharing the piece for its detailed look at the painstaking, dangerous work involved more than 80 years after the war ended.
Why now: Wartime bombs are still regularly uncovered during construction work in Europe, and the feature's detailed account of disposal techniques has struck a chord with readers.
