Bomb defused in Tokyo

A 1 ton bomb dropped in Tokyo from a U.S. B-29 bomber during World War II was discovered in March. 16,000 people had to be evacuated in the area so the bomb could be defused.

The rusty bomb was defused by a team from Japan’s Self-Defense Force in Chofu, on the outskirts of Tokyo, said Tokyo Fire Department official Shigeru Ishikawa.
