INTRO: The largest-ever World War II bomb found in Poland recently detonated as Navy divers attempted to diffuse it. The bomb, referred to as a “Tallboy or “Bomb, Medium Capacity,” weighed 12,000 pounds; half of which was explosives. Luckily, all of the divers were out of harm’s way when the gargantuan explosive went off.
Reuters described the Whoops-a-booms-y in a recent report, which comes via Digg. According to Reuters, the UK’s Royal Air Force (RAF) dropped the bomb in 1945 near the port of Szczecin, in an attack on a German cruiser. It lied there, dormant, until September 2019, when workers deepening the waterway near the port discovered it. (Unfortunately, no signs of either the One Ring to rule them all, nor Godzilla, were reported along with the discovery...)
