Street Evacuation Leaves Barber Cutting Clients on the Pavement
In the heart of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, temperatures soared to a scorching 37 degrees on Tuesday. However, the heat took a backseat as an unexpected discovery was made in the city.
During construction work on the Stuttgart 21 rail project, a 250-kilogram American aerial bomb from World War II was unearthed on Augsburger Straße. The bomb was found in Untertürkheim, prompting immediate evacuations and a safety perimeter set up by the police.
The discovery caused a stir, leading to the evacuation of approximately 1,000 people from buildings in the area. Among those affected was barber Bülen Baykal, who, despite the evacuation, finished his customer's haircut on the spot.
The bomb was successfully defused in the evening, bringing a sense of relief to the community. It's worth noting that Stuttgart, like many German cities, regularly discovers unexploded bombs from World War II. However, the exact number of such bombs still buried underground in Stuttgart remains undisclosed.
The Biklenstraße, where Baykal's hairdressing and beauty salon is located, was included in the evacuation. Construction work on the Stuttgart 21 rail project was halted temporarily due to the incident.
The discovery of the unexploded bomb serves as a reminder of the lingering effects of World War II in some parts of Germany. While the number of unexploded bombs in Stuttgart's underground areas remains uncertain, it underscores the importance of safety measures during construction and excavation projects.
No information was provided about a new mega-project in Nashville or a book tip, and there's no news about Elon Musk building an underground tunnel. As always, more information can be obtained from local authorities or specialized bomb disposal units in Stuttgart.
