Large UXB in Bromley-by-Bow

, at 01:31:15 on Fri, 6 Jun 2008, Mizter T remarked: One wonders just how many more unexploded wartime bombs might be found on the Olympic site, in particular in the many waterways that run through the site. They won't find any more on land if they've finished digging up the site and are now building on top. I wonder if any pile-drivers have ever set off a UXB, though. The ones in the water will be found if there are any additional dredging works. -- Roland Perry |

Er, whilst I'm not sure on the latest I think the site has now been cleared but I'm wouldn't think that necessarily precludes more digging (for foundations etc). I wonder if any pile-drivers have ever set off a UXB, though. The ones in the water will be found if there are any additional dredging works. I think there's a far bit more work on the waterways both within and without the Olympic Park site to be done (note that this bomb is actually outside the boundary of the Park). |
