WWII Bomb Kills Construction Driver
Sadly, some WWII artifacts can pose a serious threat. Unfortunately, one WWII bomb went off in 2014 and killed a German construction worker. While working at a site, the mechanical digger accidentally set off a bomb that had been buried there in the 40s. During the war, allied bombs were planted to fight the Nazis by bombing their factories. When the bulldozer driver set it off, the explosion shook buildings and cars even up to a kilometer away.

German Sub Found Near Nantucket
In April 1944, a German U-550 Sub torpedoed a gasoline tanker off the coast of Massachusetts. It had attacked merchant ships and created blackouts on coastal cities. While it tried to hide under the tanker, the USS Joyce found it and sent depth charges after it. When it resurfaced, another American tanker rammed it and they sent two final depth charges, forcing its crew to abandon ship and explode it. It sank and wasn’t uncovered until 2012 just off of Nantucket!
