Re: German bomb detonated (news footage)
Update from last night’s news. The steel sheets they place over the bomb (along with 400 tonnes of sand) to contain the blast were blown on to the roofs of neighbouring houses. A lot of windows and doors were blown in (modern UPVC units don’t seem very blast resistant) and some houses had brickwork damaged but it seems there is no serious structural damage to surrounding houses. You can see the site, pre-explosion, if you look for Glenthorne Road, Exeter on GoogleEarth. The bomb was in the rectangular green area and was found when building work started there.
