London City airport scraps flights as WW2 bomb found

London City Airport canceled all flights on Monday to allow the the removal of an unexploded World War II bomb discovered during a construction project. The ordnance was found in the River Thames early Sunday during planned development work at the airport, east of the Canary Wharf financial district. Royal Navy specialists established an exclusion zone of more than 200 meters (650 feet) to handle the situation, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement. About 4.5 million passengers traveled through London City Airport last year, compared to 78 million at the Heathrow hub.
