Watch: Navy Divers Blow Up WWII Mine In Solent

Royal Navy experts have destroyed a Second World War German mine - sending a plume of water nearly 1,000ft into the air. The 1,500lb (680kg) air-dropped mine was found on the seabed in The Solent, around a mile off Southsea, near Portsmouth, on Thursday. A bomb disposal team towed it to open waters off Bembridge, on the Isle of Wight, and carried out a controlled, underwater explosion.
