German construction worker killed by unexploded World War Two bomb as he dug a trench: Digger driver dies instantly in explosion near Bonn

A World War II bomb has detonated in west Germany this afternoon, killing at least one man, and injuring several others. The shock wave shattered windows within several miles of the site where the bomb went off, in the city of Euskirchen, and could be heard 16miles away in nearby Bonn. The bomb, which has laid undetected for more than 70 years, is thought to be one of thousands dropped by Allied forces on the Euskirchen area in 1944.
