Video footage surfaced of an explosion that occurred after a bomb from World War II was discovered in an England town this past Friday (February 10).
The Norfolk police in England gave insight into the explosion via Twitter, saying, “The unexploded bomb in #GreatYarmouth detonated earlier during work to disarm it. Our drone captured the moment. We can confirm that no one was injured. Public safety has been at the heart of our decision-making all the way through this operation, which we know has been lengthy.” The police posted footage of the explosion as well. According to the police, the detonation of the Great Yarmouth bomb was “unplanned,” and the bomb was discovered by a British contractor on February 7.
Despite the 550-pound bomb going off, no one was injured, according to reports. A protective sandbox was built around the bomb to offset the blast radius in case the device went off. Watch above.
