As police, fire and ambulance crews rushed to the workyard where David Page had dug up the device, the terrified 40-year-old spoke to an emergency operator on his mobile phone, newspapers said on Wednesday. "The woman police operator kept saying it would be OK but I kept saying to her, 'You're not the one holding the bomb'," he said in the Daily Mail. Page, a father of five, sobbed to the woman operator: "I told her to tell my parents and the children that I loved them if anything went wrong." The drama ended when army bomb disposal experts turned up and told him the "bomb" was actually part of the hydraulic suspension system from a Citroen. © Reuters 2004.
