Builders play soccer with bomb
It looked like a bomb but not quite enough to convince the contractors and subcontractors at a Hynds Rd (New Zealand) building site that the bullet-shaped thing they unearthed had explosive potential. So they kicked it around and eventually it came to rest under a tree.
This week a worker struck the object with a digger and was alarmed by what he saw and alerted others. A plumber eventually called the police who determined it was a bomb.
Nearby residents evacuated and about 7pm Auckland bomb squad members removed the projectile. Luckily, it was determined that the object contained no explosive material.
