Auditier in Göttingen: Evacuation due to defective drills broken off!

Göttingen, Deutschland - in Göttingen there is currently great excitement due to new suspicion. The city administration demolished today's probes on the second suspicion on Königsallee prematurely. A defective drill provided this unpleasant turn, such as [Göttinger Tageblatt] (https://www.goettinger-teglatt.de/lokales/goettingen-lk/blindgaenger-in-goettinger-weststadt-evakuier- Dab-Ter-s-grund-grund-grund-grundo2bq5hflanag54rxnkua.html). The evacuation of the affected residents ended around noon after seven of the planned holes could not be carried out.

resident Wojtek Bolimowski, who was with friends during the evacuation, is particularly affected. His garden has been examined for possible diligence since Monday. To ensure that everything goes properly, the workers drilled numerous holes into the ground. Although the search should have been completed this week, the defect of the drilling device has slowed the progress. Bolimowski even fears that the residents will have to be evacuated again at the beginning of next week, if it turns out that a dud is actually in the ground.

impressions from the Weststadt

The current explorations are done in the context of a major problem: in Göttingen, a total of several dozen duds from the Second World War could be hidden in the ground. According to estimates, around 80 duds are still undiscovered in the city, which have to be secured in a radius of 50 meters for the suspicion points. People therefore have to leave their apartments and houses until further notice to ensure their security, explains ndr.

The airspace evaluations show that there is an increased risk of dudding, especially here, around the Godehard Kreisel. From June 30th, several suspicions, including three in private gardens, were examined. Dug up to five meters to identify the possible dangers at a depth of up to five meters. There are diverse ignition mechanisms that can be considered potentially life -threatening. An incident from 2010, in which three people were killed in the defusing of a dullar, the city administration makes it particularly careful.

future measures

The city of Göttingen plans to continue the interrupted holes at the second suspicion point "as quickly as possible". In addition, on Monday, July 14th, an investigation will begin at the third suspicion near the Godehardkreisel, where a powerful drilling device can be used. This is not affected by the defect of the small device, which is designed for use in the low garden house.

experts in the field of evacuation of ordnance are at the side of the residents to create security and clarity. In Germany, there are an estimated between 100,000 and 300,000 tons of unexploding, with around 5,000 of them have to be cleared annually, according to [ARD Alpha] (https://www.ardalpha.de/wissen/bombe-fliegerbombe-tiFALFEIFE-WELD WIRG-WEITWIAG-100.html). But the danger remains: unexploded can be found during construction work or by farmers unnoticed. Therefore, it is important to inform the police immediately in the event of suspicion and take appropriate security measures.

The pressure on the city is great, but the security of the citizens has a top priority. The coming days will show how it will continue and whether new evacuations are necessary. Until then, the Situation remains tense.
