Oh boy, that would make one serious crater. Over 5K lbs of explosive.

“The deflagration process turned into detonation. The object can be considered
as neutralised, it will not pose any more threat,” Second-Lieutenant Grzegorz Lewandowski,
the spokesman of the 8th Coastal Defense Flotilla, was quoted as saying by state-run

Reuters hyperbole. The story was interesting enough without the headline making it sound like it exploded while someone was defusing it.

WW2 ordnance is found from time to time. The most bizarre instance that I know of was the sinking of the fishing trawler Snoopy in 1964 when it dredged up an old German torpedo while fishing off the coast of North Carolina. The torpedo exploded when it was brought to the surface killing 8 fisherman and sinking the ship. The last casualties of WW2 that I’m aware of.
