Re: Bomb found at Paris St. Denis
Hi Nick,
...as you and I know the risk comes comes not so much in trundling past in a train as energetically digging about in the ground without adequate preparation when there’s significant ‘above background’ risk. There is a world of difference between embarking on a planned programme of EROW/UXO prospection, and making safe prior to development (or redevelopment), than making a chance discovery during invasive works and having to mount an emergency response.
Reading between the lines of the local newspapers, it’s often hard to see if UXO discoveries on construction sites are planned or by chance. The most recent event at St Denis seems to have been associated with bridge construction work. There was one nearby in 2019, again during construction works.
