Bomb Found at Site

4 Jan 2007: A bomb was found at a construction site at Puncak Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. This bomb was believed to be dropped during World War 2 which took place here from 1942 till 1945. The photos below show what happened that day.

Policemen were called in to detonate the bomb. The bomb proved to be heavier than initially thought.

A policeman attempted to lift the bomb so that a cable can be tied round the bomb. The cable was in turn hooked to an excavator.

Eventually, it took two men to be able to lift up the bomb just to tie the cable round it.

The bomb was lifted by the excavator to a dry location where it will be detonated later.

What a huge bomb that was.

Plenty of police personnel came that day to provide assistance.

Detonation in 3... 2... 1...

Kaboom!!!
