First day off, sort of/Look what I found

Couldn't go to the office this morning due to the fact that construction crews unearthed an unexploded WWII bomb. They uncovered the device while digging a tunnel a few days ago. Today they are trying to get it out of town. We have been asked to not got to the IBC (Intl. Broadcast Center) as it is quite close the construction and removal route.

ROUGHLY translated via Babelfish and my best guess, here are the details:

ANSA.it - Torino: dismantling a bomb, evacuates 6 thousand residents of Lingotto
Interruption of national train service from Lingotto at Porta Nuova station , cancels flights at Caselle airport (ANSA) - TORINO, 8 GEN -
To regulate the evacuation of the 6 thousand residents of the Lingotto [neighborhood], where the officials are removing weapon. It will be recovered from the construction yard of the new tunnel of Spezia highway to Turin. The operations will finish in the afternoon. Railway circulation is interrupted between the stations Lingotto and Porto Nuova , air traffic is also suspended at the [Torino's] . The flights will be able to resume from 17:00.

My apologies if I've screwed it up.
