When a WWII bomb selling on eBay turns out to be live

When a woman named Tracie Wright resident of Spalding, England was selling a world war bomb online, a buyer said that it was live. She was selling the bomb for 99p when she came to know about the possibility of explosion. She was terrified and immediately called cops to destroy it.

The 49-year-old woman said that she was planning to allow her kids to take the bomb to school to show their friends but the huge blast proves that the bomb was live. She said, “I often buy things from markets to sell online, but a collector told me this bomb looked real,"

However, the bomb squad said that the bomb was dead and there would be a small explosion when destroyed. But, Tracie said that the explosion was big and it was 'bang'.

When asked, how it felt hearing the big explosion, she said, "I thought, ‘Oh God’, because my kids had been throwing the thing around.”
