Photo: DPABuilders stumbled upon an unexploded bomb close to Düsseldorf Airport on Wednesday evening, meaning that 8,000 people had to leave their homes on Thursday morning while several major roads were closed. The 250-kilogram dud explosive from the Second World War was found during construction works in a northern district of the city. Road blocks were set up to secure the area, barring people from entering the exclusion zone. Those who worked within the exclusion zone were not able to reach their offices on Thursday. On Thursday morning Düsseldorf Airport was only accessible via detours.
