45,000 to evacuate Koblenz, Germany, for defusing of WWII-era bomb

[MothBalls]

The bomb, packed with 3,000 pounds of explosives and believed to have been dropped by the British Royal Air Force, was discovered in the Rhine River after water levels dropped recently because of a lack of rain, Stars and Stripes reported.

The bomb, which officials said was one of the largest unexploded bombs ever found, was discovered along with other unexploded ordnance in the river.

I wouldn't want to be the EOD guy trying to diffuse this thing. I guess exploding it isn't an option because of the damage it would cause. The story said it would blow out windows in a 1/2 mile radius.
