Comparison with other defusing

A similar situation occurred on Tuesday in Cottbus, where a 250-kilo aviation bomb was successfully defused. Employees of the ordnance clearing service removed the detonators and blew them up in a controlled manner. After completing the work, the city of Cottbus took up the established circuit circle and the road closures, so that public transport and rail traffic could be normalized again. This defusing took place in the vicinity of the main train station and other important infrastructural facilities, which were temporarily blocked to ensure security. Tagesspiegel reports on the positive developments after the downturning.

In Cologne, recentments occurred to a state of emergency when three American World War II bombs in the Deutz district had to be defused. This has led to the largest evacuation campaign in Cologne since 1945, in which around 20,000 people had to leave their apartments. The blocking circle extended over large parts of the city center, which also resulted in significant restrictions on the transport infrastructure. A radius of danger was set 1000 meters in size. At the same time, airspace and several bridges were blocked to ensure safety during defusing.
