"On a chill December evening in 1940, Captain Max Blaney was overseeing the extraction of an unexploded bomb from a vast crater in Romford Road, East London. An experienced, careful officer, he had taken every precaution before hoisting the 550lb weapon out of the ground. Its two detonating fuses had been identified: one was a clockwork time fuse with an 80-hour limit, the other a motion-sensitive fuse with a 60-hour shelf-life.
