WWII Bomb found in Germany

This news story about a WWII Royal Air Force bomb recently found in the Rhine river would be great to use in the classroom for multiple reasons. First, it could serve as a great introduction to WWII, or to the allied bombing of Germany, because it is a current news story about how the war affects people today. Second, it would be great to use as an example of how the effects of war are felt decades (in this case, over half a century) later. It could also serve as a transition from talking about WWII into the Ottawa Treaty (Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention), the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), and the importance of the banning of land mines (and other explosives) because of the danger they pose for years after the armed conflict is over (particularly to children). Although in this case they were able to evacuate the area and safely defuse the bomb, in many developing countries they don't have the money or infrastructure to safely dispose of explosives, especially those that are difficult to detect (like AP landmines). I think this is a great critical thinking exercise.
