Mass Evacuation this Morning in Berlin to Defuse WWII Bomb

THE PLANNED DISPOSAL of an unexploded World War II bomb today will force a mass evacuation around Berlin's central railway station and likely spark transport chaos in the German capital.

Trains, trams, buses and even some flights at the city's Tegel airport will be halted when a police bomb squad starts defusing the British 500-kilogramme bomb unearthed on a building site.
