Cologne Police Find Multiple Launch Devices By Weisweiler Power Plant
A tip about a suspicious person at 4:56 p.m. triggered the manhunt, and police shut the A4 near Eschweiler for two hours.
- The devices sat near a high-voltage transmission line inside the Eschweiler-Weisweiler district on September 7.
- Cologne police cordoned off a wide zone and set up a media point on Am Kraftwerk.
- The A4 closed between Eschweiler-Ost and Langerwehe exits, reopening at 6:50 p.m.
Why it matters: Germany's power grid stayed intact because one passerby noticed something odd and called it in.
