The Canary Island base of Fuerteventura was evacuated as a team of experts were rushed over to effectively disarm the device even though it was a remnant of a Nazi bomb left from World War II.
“It was obviously terrifying — the bomb could have been there for decades untouched but who knows what might have happened if it was disturbed,” an insider on the set told The Sun.
The source went on to say, “Some of the biggest stars in the world were on set and nobody was taking any chances. Fortunately, experts dealt with it.”
The publication said that bystanders were witnesses to a panic which ensued during evacuation. Apart from Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden, Kit Harrington was also a cast member on set.
