Gare du Nord in Paris, the world’s third most intense train station, seriously disrupted last Friday morning with the presence of a Second World War Bomb that had not exploded on rails.

In the north of Paris, St. In the suburb of Denis, the bomb revealed by a soil processing machine during the landscape work in the early morning, was about 2.5 kilometers from Gare Du Nord. The work initiated for the safe lifting of the bomb has led to major delays and cancellations on trains. State Railways Establishment SNCF, train traffic on Friday evening began to restartly, but the investigations until the completion of the problems will continue, he said.

The bomb was found on the H line of the Paris train network and was about one meter long and was heavy than 180 kilograms. A wide safety circle was created to safely remove it. Such explosives reveal the effects of past wars on daily life.

A study published last year revealed that the ammunition from both the first and the Second World Wars became more sensitive over time. Therefore, the discovered bombs are handled as a serious threat and carefully eliminated.

In a study in Norway, the sensitivity of German Amatol bombs produced before 1945 was examined. Although the researchers could not determine the reasons for the sensitivity of the explosives, salt formation in the bombs, contamination with metals and the deterioration of structural integrity over time suggested.

Countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom and Belgium have to cope with thousands of explosives every year. This once again shows how bad the legacy of the wars still has on our lives.
