A fisherman found a very old bomb in his net near an island called Langeland in Denmark. People who are good at handling bombs came and took the bomb into the water. They put a small bomb on the big bomb to make it safe. Then they made the bomb go "boom" under the water. It was a big splash 15 meters deep.

The bomb was from a time when many countries were fighting, called World War Two. The fisherman told the people who could help, and they knew what to do. They made sure no one would get hurt by the bomb. They did their job very well and made the bomb go "boom" in the water. People who know about bombs are still looking for more in the water to keep everyone safe.
