Didn't a German bomber crash into the station during the Battle of Britain ? Wasn't it a famous incident in which a Hurricane pilot deliberately rammed the bomber and chopped its tail clean off after he said it was heading for Buckingham Palace ? Was wondering if it could be from that crash.

What are the chances of one of these many unexploded bombs suddenly deciding to make a big bang? I guess without some sort of intervention (like a digger hitting it) then vanishingly small? Even when they are discovered by a JCB they never seem to blow.

I mainly ask because I find the biggest pile of unexploded bombs in the country fascinating (the SS Richard Montgomery) and I do wonder what the chances are that it could ever blow...

Seems pretty even

An investigation by New Scientist magazine concluded in 2004, based partly on government documents released in 2004, that the cargo was still deadly, and could be detonated by a collision, an attack, or even shifting of the cargo in the tide. The bad condition of the bombs is such that they could explode spontaneously
