Yikes! World War II bomb found in Durban family's garden
Could you imagine the fear and shock of discovering a live bomb in your backyard?
IOL reported that the bomb was found in the backyard of the family's home where the landscaper had been working. The bomb was discovered two-meters deep into the ground.
A member of the family, who did not want to be named, said their landscaper had sprayed the bomb with water, not knowing what it was. When they saw it, they thought it was just an old relic. It was only after they searched the internet that they realised what it was. Hectic!
The family approached the bomb squad and was told that the mortar was in fact still alive and would have to be taken away to be detonated somewhere else.
The bomb squad would later return with a metal detector to check for other bombs that could be on the property.
We sure do hope that the family doesn't step on any more bombs!
