I've got friends over in Gottingen, its such a sleepy place that its weird to see it come up in the news like this. Losing 3 experienced bomb disposal experts like that is awful, I wonder if they'll move to using controlled explosions instead in the future.

Yes it's a sad thing that's happened.Apparently the unexploded bombs are becoming more and more unstable,no doubt in time these may start exploding without ever having to be disturbed.
