"Defuse" is a catch-all term for the process of rendering a UXB inert and unable to explode.

 

in this case the "defusing" consisted of slowly burning out the explosive charge, by remote control, after placing an appropriate device to do so on the bomb (and retiring to a safe distance).

 

Unfortunately the bomb decided to go for extremely rapid burn (explosion) rather than slow burn.

 

Nobody got hurt because initiation of the burn took place by.........remote control.

 

It is ended.

 

 

 

Doesn´t that still mean that no divers were defusing the bomb when it exploded?
