There's a world war two bomb in the ThamesThere must be loads, quite honestly. Is there a real danger of these things going off? Has it ever happened?

Indeed they can cause a lot of damagedepending on the size, a 500lb bomb for example (in a controlled area)

I had no ideaWW2 bombs sounded quite so much like 1980s synthesizers when they went off. The Blitz must have been like a massive Skinny Puppy gig.

The danger is very real.According to my ex-UXB, bomb disposal dad.
This is his favourite, go-to story. According to him the real danger is the degradation of the fail-safes in the munitions. The explosives themselves are still dangerous, and increasingly unstable.

Does that mean at some point it's pretty much certain all the unexploded ones we haven't found yet are going to go off?
