Officials believe it was dropped by the United States during the waning days of the Second World War. Police cordoned off a wide section of the Japanese capital - fearful the bomb would detonate.TOSHIHITO TAKAHASHI, JAPANESE SELF DEFENSE FORCE UNEXPLODED ORDINANCE DISPOSAL DIVISION, SAYING: "There are highly flammable chemicals inside the bomb, and they're designed to create fires in the area they're dispersed." In the months before Japan's surrender in 1945, the U.S. firebombed Tokyo, razing much of the capital and killing more than 100,000 people.
参考译文:一段历史的发掘--非常的小心。日本士兵将一枚未爆炸的炸弹从东京市区一建筑工地挖掘出来，炸弹可能是六十年前留下来的。日本官员认为这是二次世界大战期间美国投下来的。警方封锁了日本首都很大一块面积，担心炸弹可能会爆炸。日本自卫队未爆炸条例处理部门Toshihto Takahashi说：“炸弹里有高度易燃物质，会在驱散地区产生大火。”在1945年日本投降之前，美国对东京实行轰炸摧毁其大部分地区，造成100,000多人死亡。
