Unarming University UXO

Tallahassee, Florida It may be normal to hear loud noises from college campuses, but the big boom heard by people in the area of Florida State recently wasn't rowdy football fans or partying Greeks, it was the controlled detonation of a WWII bomb unearthed by construction workers building a college apartment complex near the campus.

The blast, carried out by the Tallahassee Police Department with the help of a Tyndall Air Force Base EOD team, was safely executed after the EOD team excavated a deep hole and buried the bomb before detonating it. The bomb fell out of the roots of a tree that workers pulled from the ground. A remediation team has been hired to insure the area is clear of other UXO.
