Unexploded WWII Bomb Closes Paris' Busiest Train Station

An unexploded WWII bomb halted train service out of Paris, France. It was located near train tracks in the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis, about a mile and a half from Gare du Nord. More than 210 Million people travel through Gare du Nord each year, making it Europe's busiest train station. Pausing travel out of Paris has international ramifications. Passengers in London, Brussels, and Amsterdam all felt the effects.
