WW II bombs threaten AC/DC concert:
Unexploded Second World War bombs at an Austrian airfield threaten to shut down a May concert by metal rockers AC/DC.The concert at Wels Airport on May 22nd has already faced another obstacle — complaints by environmentalists that it would disturb colonies of rare birds in the area.
Now, city officials have informed the metal band that the bombs pose a danger to the estimated 80,000 fans who have bought tickets to the sold-out concert.
Hermann Wimmer, the mayor of Wels, told Austrian TV this week that approval for the concert will not go ahead until experts in demining and bomb defusing evaluate the site.
The airport had been the target of heavy Allied bombing during the war.
