Exeter WWII bomb blast was so powerful it blew out windows of homes nearby
Thousands of evacuated residents have been left assessing the damage to their homes following the detonation of a World War II bomb in a blast that left a crater the size of a double-decker bus and was heard 10 miles away. More than 2,600 people had to be flee before the controlled explosion of a recently unearthed Nazi 'Hermann bomb' in Exeter, Devon on Saturday evening. A 400-yard cordon was put in place with 1,400 university students among those evacuated. When the bomb was detonated a huge cloud of dust was shot into the sky above - leaving several nearby homes with structural damage.
