Watch moment Second World War bomb explodes at airport as plane prepares to take-off

This is the moment a WWII bomb explodes next to a runway forcing flight cancellations at an airport in Japan. CCTV captured the blast as a plane prepared for take-off- at Miyazaki Bougainvillea Airport on Wednesday (2 October). Officials said a bomb disposal team from the Japan Ground Self-Defence Force later investigated the explosion. Experts found an American bomb had been buried beneath the land surface, probably dating to a wartime air raid. Government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi said the runway was shutdown and 87 flights were cancelled. He said there was 'no danger' of further explosions.
