Over 1,000 people to be evacuated due to WWII-era bomb in Frankfurt
After a fruitless attempt to defuse a WWII-era bomb, residents of a Frankfurt neighborhood are to be evacuated for the second day running on Wednesday evening.
Bomb disposal experts will endeavour once again to defuse the undetonated 50-kilogram explosive - this time using a different tool.
Some 1,400 people who live within a 400-meter radius of the building site where the bomb in the Seckbach district was discovered must vacate their homes.
Experts also suspect that a second bomb could be buried directly beneath.
"We'll only know whether that's the case when the bomb is defused," said a fire rescue service spokesman on Wednesday afternoon.
