German bomb detonated (news footage)

An unexploded bomb discovered by builders has been detonated this evening, about a mile from my home: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-56221697

We felt and heard it as a heavy, dull thud. From the measurements that were quoted for its length and diameter, it may have been an SC 1000. When it was dropped (1942?) it would have fallen on open ground.
