Same way the politicians of today pass unpopular stuff - cultivating public apathy in addition to nationalism, etc.
Sad thing that this almost feels common when this happens again and again around here. When I was curious about how much bombs are still lying around here I looked it up on wikipedia and got these numbers: Experiences from German demolition squads from WW2 say that 10-20% of allied bombs were dud shots. All in all, there were around 135.000 - 270.000 tons of unexploded bombs lying around in Germany. Experts say that 1-2 of those explode by themselves every year. In 2013, there were around 100.000 hidden duds (estimated number). Every year, around 5.500 duds are found and defused.
