Berlin city centre a 'ghosttown' after WWII bomb evacuation
The cordon, which includes the German capital's main Hauptbahnhof railway station, was in place and the area completely evacuated by 9 am local time.
Last week, German bomb disposal experts successfully dismantled a 1.8-tonne United Kingdom bomb found in the town of Paderborn.
Police said Friday a few 10,000 citizens and employees have been being forced to leave a two-square-kilometer (almost a sq kilometers) location, including the railway station, for bomb pros to defuse the 500-kilogram (1,100-pound) British bomb dropped through the war.
Some 3,000 are believed to still lie buried in Berlin, a city of three million people, where bomb disposal squads are well-practiced in defusing them and other ordnance.
