Berlin Tegel Airport Expects Disruption from Defusing of WW2 Bomb
BERLIN (Reuters) - Berlin’s Tegel airport has warned passengers to expect disruption on Friday morning when a World War Two bomb discovered near the capital’s central train station is defused.
The 500-kilogram (1,100-pound) British bomb was found during construction work and all buildings within an 800-metre (2,625 ft) radius will be evacuated from 9 a.m. local time (0700 GMT).
Planes coming in to land at Tegel, which is about seven kilometers (4.4 miles) away from the central station, may therefore need to be re-routed to avoid flying above the defusing site.
