I gave a presentation this morning in my French class on a bomb which was found by construction workers in a quarter of Paris on January 27th.
The bomb was 500 kilos...and get this, it's from World War II. During the war, France was occupied by Germany and the Allies bombed a certain automobile factory...owned by Renault...which was producing cars for the Nazis.
They dropped hundreds of bombs, including a few which still haven't detonated.
Soooo 6,000 people were evacuated on February 6th as the french bomb squad defused this big old bomb. Sweet.
