One wonders just how many more unexploded wartime bombs might be found
on the Olympic site, in particular in the many waterways that run
through the site.


They won't find any more on land if they've finished digging up the site
and are now building on top.


Er, whilst I'm not sure on the latest I think the site has now been
cleared but I'm wouldn't think that necessarily precludes more digging
(for foundations etc).


I wonder if any pile-drivers have ever set off a UXB, though.

The ones in the water will be found if there are any additional dredging
works.


I think there's a far bit more work on the waterways both within and
without the Olympic Park site to be done (note that this bomb is
actually outside the boundary of the Park).
