Second World War bomb found at tsunami-damaged Japanese airport

sendai airport

A US-made Second World War bomb has been unearthed near an airport runway in northern Japan that was hit by last year's tsunami -- the second such find in a week.

The 250kg bomb, which has a working detonator, was discovered at Sendai airport on the evening of 29 October, and all flights at the regional hub have since been grounded as a result. The find comes just a week after a 220kg dud bomb was uncovered in central Tokyo, prompting authorities to evacuate hundreds of residents.
