| Subject: Destructive Statist Legacy: Unexploded 450kg World War II bomb found in Hong Kong Fri Feb 02, 2018 1:05 am | |
| Police sealed off part of a busy downtown neighbourhood after an unexploded bomb was found during construction work in the Asian financial centre.
Explosive ordinance disposal officers were deployed to the scene in the commercial and financial district of Wan Chai.
The discovery of the 450-kilogram bomb at a construction site triggered the evacuation of more than 4000 people, the closing of shops, hotels, schools and offices, as well as a stoppage of traffic, including maritime transport services that connect the area at Victoria Harbour.
It's the second time in less than a week a bomb has been unearthed at the site for a cross-harbour commuter rail link.
