    WWII Artillery Shell Explodes in Fortress Hill


    Hong Kong police on Tuesday evacuated scores of people from homes and offices after an unexploded World War II-era bomb was discovered at a construction site.
    Workers found the British artillery shell near a busy road in the Fortress Hill neighbourhood, and a police bomb disposal squad was called to the scene, a police officer told reporters.
    The motorway was closed and around 200 people were evacuated from nearby buildings before the bomb was safely detonated, sending debris, shell fragments and smoke into the air.
    "I believe that if it actually did explode (accidentally), people nearby would have been injured," Hong Kong police chief inspector Peter Ip said.
    "Because the bomb had been fired before, it was very unstable."

    Greater threat to our livelihoods?

    Brit living/working in HK without the proper visa > Shark > Bomb.

    However . . .

    Shark with Bomb > Brit living/working in HK without the proper visa.

    So let's work hard to keep the shark out of Fortress Hill.
