HAMBURG, Germany, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- At least 38 people were injured Tuesday morning when a World War II-era bunker in Hamburg, Germany, caught fire.
The fire in the above-ground bunker, which has no windows and only two doors and is beneath a sturdy seven-story building in a residential neighborhood, caused a "blast wave" of energy that shattered windows and sent bicycles and other property flying through the air. The bunker was designed to hold citizens fleeing from World War II aerial attacks, but is now used as a carpentry shop and storage for 100 tons of mostly non-flammable plant oils.
