簡単英語ニュース - WWII Bomb Halts Eurostar Trains in Paris
第二次世界大戦の爆弾でユーロスター運行停止
An unexploded bomb from World War II stopped all Eurostar trains between London and Paris on Friday. The bomb was found early in the morning near Gare du Nord, one of the busiest train stations in Europe. Police and bomb experts created a safety area around the site and worked for hours to make the bomb safe.
The French government said there was no danger to local people, but the station and nearby buildings were closed. Many travelers had to wait at the station or cancel their plans. The bomb was defused in the afternoon, and trains are expected to start running again soon.
Eurostar said all affected passengers can get a refund. Bombs from the war are sometimes found in France, but it is very rare to find one in a place with so many people. Officials thanked the police and workers who helped keep the area safe.
