Leipzig, Germany. 29th May, 2020. Containers were used to secure the site of a suspected unexploded ordnance from the 2nd World War. A few days ago a suspicious object was discovered here during construction work. But it was not an aerial bomb, but an old well. Early this morning, specialists had begun to excavate the suspicious object at a depth of four meters. If a bomb had been found, parts of Leipzig's city centre and an estimated 18,000 people would have had to be evacuated. Credit: Jan Woitas/dpa-Zentralbild/dpa/Alamy Live News
