TOKYO - Thousands of residents were evacuated in Tokyo on Sunday while authorities dug up an unexploded 550-pound bomb, believed to have been dropped by the United States during World War II, a local official said.

The bomb, about 14 inches in diameter and 47 inches long, was detected earlier this month in a residential area in Tokyo's Katsushika ward by Self-Defense Force investigators, said Katsushika spokesman Takanori Kato.
About 3,900 residents within a 985-feet radius of the site were evacuated for 1.5 hours while troops removed the bomb, according to Kato.

Lets see you just found a 550-pound bomb that has not yet blew up and it has been there since World War II.

After just 1.5 hours you remove it and tell me it's safe to return.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

Sounds like authorities need something to make a stir. A massive bomb.. sure why not make a scare..

Why tell people to go back home if (they) aren't totally sure of what is going where.. being a tourist in their own city.
