A bomb disposal team removes an unexploded 500-kilogram (1,100-pound) bomb from World War II after its deactivation on April 20, 2018 in Berlin, Germany. The bomb, discovered during construction work near the city's central train station, brought disruption to Berlin as a bomb disposal unit defused the explosive, blocking off an 800-meter (half-mile) radius around the site as a precaution to local businesses and residents in the process. Hundreds of WWII bombs which failed to detonate during the War due to technical issues are found every year in the country. Between 1940 and 1945, American and British forces dropped nearly three million tons of explosives on Europe, half of which targeted Germany. A quarter of a million of these did not explode.
