Description

This is the astonishing moment a huge Second World War mine was detonated half-a-mile out at sea.

The waves violently erupted as the historic 1400lb explosive was blown up after getting caught up in a boat's fishing net.

The massive blast caused the ground in the seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, to shake, leaving locals fearing for their safety.
