Travel Chaos in Paris Due to WWII Bomb Discovery
A significant disruption occurred in Paris as an unexploded World War II bomb was discovered near Gare du Nord, halting all train services, including Eurostar connections to London and Brussels. The bomb, weighing 660 lbs, triggered a major bomb disposal operation, causing hours of travel chaos. Eurostar announced the cancellation of all trains between London and Paris for the duration of the incident, stranding numerous passengers, including those on their way to important events. Police successfully defused the bomb, allowing services to gradually resume, although disruptions are expected to continue as travelers navigate the aftermath of this incident.
