Typhoon Ragasa and WWII Bomb Cause Chaos

Thousands of people were evacuated from their homes in Hong Kong after a 1,000-pound WWII bomb was discovered at a construction site. The bomb, which was left over from World War II, was found to be in good condition and posed a significant threat to the surrounding area. Bomb experts worked through the night to defuse the bomb, which was successfully neutralized by 11:48 a.m. on Saturday. The evacuation affected approximately 1,900 households and 6,000 individuals. This is not the first time a WWII bomb has been discovered in Hong Kong, with another 1,000-pound bomb being defused in 2018.
