现实版拆弹专家：香港警方成功拆除450公斤二战炸弹

Hong Kong police have successfully defused a "severely damaged" World War Two bomb found on a construction site in a busy commercial area.

香港警方成功地化解了在繁忙商业区的建筑工地上发现的“严重受损”的二战炸弹。

More than 4,000 people were forced to evacuate and streets were cordoned off as experts worked overnight to disarm the 450kg (992lbs) wartime explosive.

It is the second to be found in Hong Kong within a week.

The explosive - an AN-M65 - was made by the United States and dropped on Japan-occupied Hong Kong during WW2.

爆炸物AN-M65是美国制造的，二战期间掉落在日本占领的香港。

It is not uncommon for unexploded armaments from the conflict to be found in the territory.

在该领土上发现冲突中残留的未爆军备并不罕见。

The area - a British colony at the time - was occupied by Japanese forces between 1941 and 1945, and was the site of fierce fighting between the occupiers and British and Allied forces.

The bomb’s fuse mechanism was found to be "severely damaged" and the position of the bomb made it hard for equipment to reach it, bomb disposal officer Alick McWhirter told the South China Morning Post.

炸弹的保险丝机制被发现“严重受损”，炸弹的位置让设备难以到达，炸弹处理官员阿里克·麦克沃特尔告诉《南华早报》。

At about 08:00 local time (00:00 GMT) on Thursday, Explosive Ordnance Disposal officers cut a large hole through the bomb’s shell to burn off the explosive material inside.

当地时间星期四八点（格林尼治标准时间0时）左右，爆炸物处理官员通过炸弹的外壳切下一个大洞，将内部爆炸物烧掉。

After the gunpowder in the bomb burned up, it was lifted off the site by crane.

"Bomb disposal operations are dirty, difficult and dangerous. In this particular case, all three were true," Mr McWhirter told the SCMP.

“拆弹行动是肮脏，困难和危险的，在这个案例中，这三项都达到了。”麦克沃特尔告诉《南华早报》。

"It was extremely dangerous for the officers engaged in the disposal operation."

The entire operation lasted about 24 hours.
