On Sunday, Frankfurt authorities defused the newly discovered British World War II Bomb, which was discovered last Tuesday under a construction site near the Goethe University Frankfurt compound on Wisamarer Street.

More than 60, 000 people were issued out of the city as they were instructed to leave their homes before the removal of the bomb. But, check this out. Authorities provided different services to help with the evacuation, so that citizen’s of the city would be safe. The police started the evacuation on Saturday as they dealt with hospitals and care homes first. Patients from clinics were moved to other hospitals, which was an example of the fire brigade’s tweet that “transport for those who can’t leave on their own [would be] on its way….”  In the attempt to make sure not one of their many citizens were left behind, the Fire Brigade states that there would be helicopters to assist in the safety of the people. The evacuation process has displayed to be very efficient and organized with barely any complications as Röck states that ” the situation [was] relaxed which [was] a good sign.” Eleanor Roosevelt’s soon to be Senior student, Deon Gibbs, seemed to be supportive of the process as he commented that “the Frankfurt police are doing a great job at being a protective system for the people ” and “it is cool to see them taking care of their people the right way.”

Back to the solution for the bomb, the process was said to have started at 2:30 pm, which took at least four hours to finish. Not many details were given about how the department disposed of the bomb, but the Frankfurt police twitter -which is know as Polizei_Ffm- did acknowledge that the exercise was a entire success.

So, with that said, Frankfurt is free of the World War II Bomb and initially safe.  It was a win for the people of the German city and a lost for the ancient artifact.
