The day after or week after these were dropped 60-100 years ago, did people not think, there’s a bomb over there we should make it safe.
Edit: I singled out the UK because they discovered a bomb from World War Two today in Plymouth. I know the UK is still in Europe.

Bombs did not fall one at a time, it was a massive amount falling over a period of time. And then again the next day. If you had a pile of rubble in a basement, you might just fill it in and never find the bomb in that pile.
Bombs are also very heavy and in already bombed and otherwise walked on or ploughed earth it might disapear underground if it falls but does not go off. You might see a small crater and think oh it was a small bomb, gone now! And 50 years later you find out the impact crater was the small one and there is a 500 pounder sitting underneath your garden shed.
Also, if you see a bomb you don’t think make it safe. You think, that could go any second I need to get it covered with dirt or diffused before it goes of. In places with trenches a bomb or shell might be dumped in an abandoned one. If it goes boom it goes boom away from me and does not send shrapnell in my face.
