Everything went well: The aerial bomb discovered Friday in the south of Graz was defused successfully. The relic of war is already on its way to Wiener Neustadt, in order to be on a Bundesheerareal controlled sandblasted to become.
"The bomb was sharp and cheap at around 250 kg", summarizes Urs Harnik-Lauris, spokesperson for Energie Steiermark. On their central site for the future Central Wall – At the height of Olympiawiese in Graz – the aerial bomb had been discovered during excavation work at 7:30.
The area to the north of the Puntigamer Bridge "has already been closed," Fritz Grundnig added by the Graz police at 8.30am. Just before 10 am, everything was finally clear: "The bomb was defused," said Urs-Harnik.
The area in question was repeatedly attacked by US bomber squadrons during the Second World War, nearby, among others. the bushes that made the armaments. So many misfires are likely to be hidden in the ground. Last year, many earthworks were carried out for the Mur station.
It's already the fourth event of its kind in Graz this year: In March, a 250-kilogram bomb had to be defused near Lendplatz and then checked. A few days later, six were still partially explosive grenades and four rifle grenades, probably also from the Second World War, to Kalsdorf controlled to bring about the demolition – before he was finally at Gasrohrsteg in Puntigam, again to defuse a bomb.
