Heatwave drains River Po and exposes WW2 Bomb
Well how’s this for a climate discovery
Heatwaves across Europe are scorching fields and draining rivers.
In Italy, the waters of the nation’s River Po are now running so low they revealed a previously submerged World War Two bomb.
Military experts have now defused the device and carried out a controlled explosion.
The 450 kilogram bomb was discovered by fisherman on July 25 near a northern village.
Around 3,000 people living nearby were evacuated for the disposal operation, and the area’s airspace was also shut down.
