Builders in Plymouth found a live WW2 bomb and 1,000+ homes had to be evacuated

A 250kg Second World War bomb found on a Plymouth construction site led to a 400-metre cordon, more than 1,000 homes being evacuated, and schools shutting before Army and Royal Navy specialists blew it up in situ on Friday. ITV says residents were later allowed home and no significant damage was reported. Peak Britain: trying to build new homes and uncovering the Blitz instead.
