Polish authorities mull evacuation after WWII bomb found

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Authorities in northwest Poland are mulling the evacuation of some 42,000 people after a giant British World War II seismic bomb was found buried in the waterway leading to the port of Szczecin.
The 5.5-ton Tallboy bomb is 6 meters (20 feet) long and was found during works in a channel running through the town of Swinoujscie to Szczecin. With an impact range of over 10 kilometers (6 miles), it is the biggest wartime bomb found in Poland’s waters.
