Around a week ago....some work (construction-wise) was being done at the autobahn gas station over near my house (about 2 miles away, as the crow flies).
In the midst of this....they had a guy with the metal detector who walked the grounds and he got all excited. Yes, a gut feeling of a WW II bomb. Everything stopped, and the bomb guys got the call.
So they plan out this massive operation.
Among other things....the autobahn itself has to be closed down. Yes, for four hours....both directions are shut-down. All of this was set up for last night (9 PM).
The gang started digging (at this stage, it's not been seen).
They finally reach the object, and it's NOT a bomb, but a fair-sized chunk of a bridge (steel girder) that someone (probably in the 1950s) just dumped there in the disposal process.
That ended the bomb situation, and the autobahn opened back up.
All due to some 'Huns-guy' who cut corners and just dumped rusted steel into a construction project in the 1950s? Yeah.
