Chinese man finds bomb when fishing in pond in Guangdong


A Chinese man found a 20-centimetre-long bomb while fishing in a pond in southern China.

In the video, filmed in Jiangmen City in Guangdong Province on March 4, a policeman uses an explosion-proof bucket to carry the bomb found by a fisherman onto a police car slowly and carefully.

The surface of the bomb was corroded badly. After the preliminary identification, it was confirmed to be a mortar shell from World War II.

Police then transported the mortar to an empty area and detonated it.
