Traffic was to get back slowly in one of France’s busiest stations in France on Friday evening after the teams of bombs were disoriented a unploded bomb of the Second World War who had caused travel chaos after its discovery north of Paris.
The bomb was discovered in the suburbs of Saint-Denis during night work on slopes that lead to the Gare du Nord, a large Parisian transit center which serves northern France and other parts of Europe, including Great Britain. The authorities interrupted all trains traffic at the station after the discovery, causing disturbances that struck the English chain.
“It was not a trivial operation,” said Philippe Tabarot, French Minister of Transport, to journalists in Paris after the bombing of the bomb, adding that more than 300 police had been deployed to erase and secure a large perimeter around the aircraft, which weighed more than 1,000 pounds.
The voluminous, cylindrical and encrusted bomb of rocks was discovered around 3:30 am at around one and a half mile from the North Station, said the French National Railway Society in a press release. The workers arranged on a bridge renovation site when a earth -time machine revealed the bomb, which had been buried about six and a half feet underground.
It lasts about three feet long and includes more than 400 pounds of explosive equipment, said the company, adding a travel notice that “vast earthworks” were necessary to defuse it safely. Police have also temporarily finished sections of a neighboring road and a highway.
