A bomb falls and a street burns

Beneath an aircraft a bomb slips free of its release gear; in a narrow street of tall brick houses flames shoot from windows and a gateway and smoke drifts over the roofs; a corner building with an ornamented cornice burns, its upper storey already open to the sky and a chimney standing alone. Apparently German newsreel footage; according to the source Rotterdam, May 1940.
