CAM Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Bit of alternative wording there for the filters. Wembley WW2 live bomb poses 'risk to life' - BBC News Another one found! This time in Wembley, 1/5th the size of the one that shut Bermondsey down and right before the play-offs this weekend!
hardtailstar Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Already been said it will not affect Playoffs. Come on Preston! lol 1
Andrew_C Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Not all bad news - Empire Way is partially closed and a 400m cordon has been erected. The evacuated businesses are believed to include the TV studio where Britain's Got Talent is filmed. 2
Garacesh Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Is that circle of life geeteeeffoh a 400m radius or a 400m diameter? These things matter! Still, you never tend to think about bombs being found in towns and cities.. I guess you expect that they all got found when foundations were being laid and stuff? It's always farmers digging them up with their ploughs.
Andrew_C Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 We're discussing evacuation zones here as CDT have an acetylene bottle. Fire officer is talking 200m radius. We wouldn't be popular...
ICTDirect_Dave Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Already been said it will not affect Playoffs. Come on Preston! lol Despite living in Preston I can't support them in this as they knocked Chesterfield (the team of my childhood) out
hardtailstar Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Despite living in Preston I can't support them in this as they knocked Chesterfield (the team of my childhood) out Although I dont and have never lived in Preston, My family comes from Preston so was bullied into me.
sippo Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Boo to Preston. These stories make me laugh. It's a risk and could blow up any moment, but hey lets get close enough to have a photo. I may even give it a poke...
Garacesh Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) These stories make me laugh. It's a risk and could blow up any moment, but hey lets get close enough to have a photo. I may even give it a poke... I assumed they'd be long-lensed? Edit: Also the photos in the article are attributed to Sgt. Rupert Frere RLC. So presumably they're being taken by military personnel who are on-scene anyway and nobody 'extra' is being put at risk Edited May 22, 2015 by Garacesh
LeMarchand Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 In March, a 250kg (550lb) bomb was found in Bermondsey, south-east London. It was safely defused and taken to Kent to be destroyed. Did they detonate this last night?
Garacesh Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Did they detonate this last night? Ha. Wouldn't that be awkward. Well spotted!

I've plotted these on a map for a random school near Wembley. Everyone around you certainly won't be happy. Also the current bomb scare's 400m radius for comparison. I think my calculations were right, 1000m = 1km so 0.2km and 0.4km radius? http://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/view/200m_v_400m_radius/200v400radius Edited May 22, 2015 by CAM
