WWII Bomb Found at Schiphol Airport

Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam is having a day of it.

Not only have they dealt with a hijacking scare, that luckily turned out to be just failed communication, but a bomb was also found at the airport.

Near Terminal C, an unexploded bomb from World War II was discovered this morning.

The 1,100 pound bomb was discovered at a construction site, and has been safely removed.

During World War II, the airport was a military base, and was bombed repeatedly by both sides.

It is now the fifth busiest airport in Europe.
