An army bomb disposal team is working to dismantle a huge unexploded World War Two bomb unearthed this week near the future Olympic Park in London.
The 2,200-pound German explosive was discovered on Monday by contractors clearing the site. It measures four feet by two feet - the largest discovered in the capital since the mid-70s. At one point it even started ticking.
Bombs are uncovered two or three times a year in London, which bore the brunt of the Blitz aerial bombardment.
