As a German living in Berlin it's still pretty normal that once in a while WW2 bombs are found during construction. Heavy bombs that didn't explode probably penetrated the ground quite a bit so when rebuilding it was probably just easier to just leave them there. That's just a guess.

I hope the CD player is connected to the cloud so he can get important security updates for his CDs. Then there might be a way to add some personalized product recommendations between tracks...

> How does stuff like that happen?
