British WW2 1000lb bomb fails to be defused, blows up a 65 ft hole in the German autobahn highway in

[QUOTE=Leestons;45802974]That hole is tiny in comparison.[/QUOTE]

To be fair, if you look at the side of the picture, there appears to be multiple holes.

[QUOTE=wraithcat;45803360]You need to actually cut and remove tarmac in a pretty large radius first. Then you need to ensure that structural integrity of the highway didn't suffer.

You'll probably have to fix the side buffers as well. Remember this isn't a small hole you can just fill. This was a hole that resulted due to an explosion so tarmac for dozens of meters away from the epicenter might be too compressed or cracked.[/QUOTE]
ya i was thinking that, they'll probably have to rip up the entire section and repave it and the autobon isn't like normal highway elsewhere, they build it with a lot more concrete
