Melech 9,900 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 A German man in Lower Saxony thought he was reeling in a massive fish while he was angling. It turned out to be something more dangerous: a hand grenade from the Second World War. A 27-year-old German man reeled in a French hand grenade from World War II while he was fishing in the northern German town of Emden on Friday, local police said. The man was fishing on a bridge in Emden when the incident happened, police said. He said he was using "normal fishing tackle with a hook." "Instead of a pike, it was a grenade," a police spokeswoman said on Saturday. Police closed off the area around where he was fishing and the device was handed over to the explosive ordnance disposal service. A similar incident happened in Hamburg where two children fished a World War II hand grenade out of the Alster tributary. The 11-year-olds had attached a magnet to a fishing rod as part of a "treasure hunt." https://m.dw.com/en/germany-man-catches-wwii-hand-grenade-while-fishing/a-48126249 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 99,400 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I’ve heard that is kinda frequent to still find booby traps from both World Wars all over Europe, like, I would have major anxiety walking around the woods (not that I do that often but still) If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.
