Explosive relic – 250kg bomb caused airport closure

Date:

About 120 kilograms of explosives in a still active American plane bomb right next to the Vienna-Schwechat airport! Employees of the company EOD Munitionsbergung made this explosive discovery. They had surveyed the area as part of the expansion of the photovoltaic system and then uncovered the war relic.

“Fortunately, they were normal blast detonators that could easily be defused by the mine clearance service,” said general manager Stefan Plainer. Still, a radius of 400 meters had to be evacuated for about half an hour on Wednesday. This also included an airport runway that was closed to arrivals and departures.

Dozens of grenades found
Dozens of explosives and mortar shells were found in the run-up to earthworks in Ybbs, Melk district. “It must have been an old ammunition depot,” Plainer explains. Here too, the experts of the army were asked.
