Goettingen - Three members of a bomb disposal team were killed and six people wounded Tuesday night in the central German city of Goettingen when a World War II bomb exploded during attempts to disarm the weapon. Among the wounded, two people had serious injuries but were expected to survive.
Uncovered at a depth of 7 metres, the bomb when off during preparatory work by bomb squad members, apparently prior to the beginning of their planned attempt to disarm the device.
Goettingen is famous as a university town in the northern German state of Lower Saxony.
Goettingen city spokesman Detlef Johannson said that the detonation occurred during what had appeared to be a "routine deactivation."
The cause of the accident was not immediately known.
crazy I wonder how many are left.
