A massive explosion during the night has killed thousands of fish in the river Danube in the centre of Vienna it caused a massive fountain of water and was heard several miles away it is thought to have been a second world war bomb of some size possibley a flying bomb . Divers are going to investigate the area today. I can remember as a boy going to the Chase in Dagenham in about 57 and being stopped by the police because Bomb disposal were removing a bomb from the fishery . I found out later that the bailiff a man we called Jock had spotted it in the clear water no more than six foot from the bank. Even today we get the odd one turn up the last one was about seven years ago at Dovers corner it was a 1000 pounder destined for Hornchuch airfield they evacuated the area for one mile which included my firm while they made it safe.
