Watch: Controlled explosion as WW2 bomb causes chaos in West Midlands city

Watch the moment a suspected World War Two bomb discovered on a Midlands construction site was safely dealt with after a major emergency operation saw dozens of homes evacuated.

The device was uncovered during construction work at Sandy Lane Business Park in Radford, Coventry, prompting a 100-metre safety cordon and the evacuation of 96 nearby homes while Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) specialists assessed the find.

Emergency services, Coventry City Council and military experts worked together to ensure the bomb was safely removed and disposed of.

Police have since thanked residents, businesses and motorists for their patience and cooperation during the operation, which caused significant disruption but ended safely for the local community.
