Paris' Gare du Nord, Europe's busiest train station, ground to a halt on Friday while an unexploded World War Two bomb was defused, causing the cancellation of all Eurostar trains for the day and huge disruptions to nearby traffic.
Railway workers found the 500 kilogram (1,100 lb) device 2 metres underground at around 0230 GMT in Saint-Denis, a northern Parisian suburb, during construction work on a bridge. Police say the area is known to contain "vestiges" of the war.
Une découverte inattendue. Ce vendredi 7 mars, une bombe de la Seconde Guerre mondiale a été retrouvée « au milieu des voies » sur la commune de Saint-Denis à 2,5 km de la gare du Nord de Paris. En conséquence, le trafic est interrompu à la gare du Nord, a indiqué la SNCF.
Aucun TGV, Eurostar, RER, ni TER ne circule.
reprise du traffic vers 18h
Au total, les perturbations ont touché "500 trains"
et "600. 000 personnes",
L’interruption du trafic a été décidée « à la demande de la préfecture de police de Paris » après la découverte de la bombe « non explosée » dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi « lors de travaux réalisés en amont de Paris gare du Nord », explique la société ferroviaire dans un communiqué transmis à l’AFP. Elle mesure un mètre et pèse 500 kg.
un quart du milliard d’obus largué pendant la Première Guerre mondiale n’a pas explosé. Le chiffre est de 15 % pour les 600 000 tonnes de bombes utilisées lors du second conflit mondial. Ces explosifs sont peut-être vieux d’au moins 80 ans, mais ils n’en sont pas moins dangereux.
Rien qu'en 2023, le service de déminage de la Sécurité civile a réalisé près de 13 000 interventions pour des munitions des deux guerres mondiales.
Named to a Charles J. Brooks from Stanislaus California. The qm tag was ripped out so I'm not sure of manufacture but it's definitely early of pre wwii from the brass buttons. It also fits me perfectly 75 years later.

Poor guy.. now on top of all his other worries he has a jealous wife to deal with
"Dear Mitzi,
Let me start this letter off by sending you a loving kiss. I’m curious which one will reach you first, the letter or me. I’ll give the letter a 3-day head start. If it weren’t for our plans I’d already be 100 kilometres closer to you, but I have to wait til Monday.
Thanks very much for the letter you wrote on the 20th, but from what you wrote I have to surmise that you also sent one the day before which I never received. I’m curious what was in that nasty letter, or is it best not to open it if it does get here?
It seems my little Mitzi is jealous. I don’t know whether I should pity you or try to comfort you because if you don’t trust me then nothing I say or write will make any difference. Trust requires great love, not passion.
You can be certain I’m looking forward to seeing you again. I want nothing more in this world than to hold you in my arms again and banish those horrid thoughts from your mind.
I was really shocked to hear that Ludwig was in hospital. I’d never have thought he was that ill. I don’t suppose you’ll be making apple strudel on Saturday. It would be cold by Tuesday and I’d really love to taste warm apple strudel again for a change.
No, I won’t be writing to Lilly again but if I pass by her town again I won’t forget to say hello to her.
I’ve just realised that you probably won’t get this letter until the late morning and I’ll be arriving 3-10 minutes after 12, so there won’t be enough time for you to make the strudel.
My darling Mitzi, I had to laugh at how you described our Herbert’s attempts at bribery. You’ll have to help me tell him how bad he is. But for now I’ll end this letter and send you my love on paper, for my true feelings cannot be written. I can never find the words to express myself properly anyway. But as always the only thing ever on my mind is and will always be you and Herbert.
Your eternally loving and adoring
Gustl"
Pennsylvania Railroad K4 class 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive 5346 with a passenger train is seen Chicago, Illinois, ca early 1940's. The fireman can be seen in his cab window looking toward the camera. The coal in the tender appears to be topped off, so most likely this is a departing train. This locomotive was among 111 built in 1918 in Altoona by the PRR's Juniata Shops. Many of the older K4 steam locomotives lasted in service for almost forty years. In later years afer WWII ended modern pilots were installed on these engines to replace the older style slat pilots.

I went to the WWII memorial this morning hoping for a different image. The fountains didn’t come on until about 15 minutes after sunrise.
