Blown up later
A grenade was found instead of a missing person
The search for the writer Bodo Hell has been going on for days in the Dachstein region. On Thursday, a group of mountain rescuers were out again to find the 81-year-old. Instead of Hell, however, they found a World War II grenade, which was then professionally detonated.
The 50 kilogram grenade from the Second World War was detonated at around 2.20 pm in Obertraun. Previously, at an altitude of around 1960 meters, in the area of the Niederer Speikberg, the war relic was accidentally discovered by a member of the mountain rescue service while searching for the missing person.
Flown away by helicopter
The demining service of the Austrian Armed Forces, a police officer with knowledge of explosives and three members of the Alpine Police were transported to the vicinity of the discovery site by police helicopter. The subsequent controlled detonation went off without incident.
