Default Bank bodies

This is an email I received the other day - seems a bit dubious to me. Any
ideas?


"Did you know that Bank station today is actually only part of Bank

station?
Part of it was demolished by German bombs during the blitz in the 1940's
when trains were in the station. They closed it off and sealed it up

without
taking the bodies out as it was too dangerous to go in after them. A

distant
relative of mine is believed to be buried there. She didn't return home

from
work that night and was never seen again. She always caught the train at
Bank station. You may be able to find out more from London Underground."


A bomb hit Bank road junction and smashed through the Central Line ticket
hall, which is underneath. The bomb proceeded to bounce down the esclator
shaft and ISTR exploded at the bottom escalator landing killing several
people.
