BANK DAMAGED
PETROL TANK FROM PLANE DEAFENING EXPLOSION. THREE FLOORS OF OFFICES WRECKED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. Three minutes after a petrol tank which had fallen from an aeroplane had landed in a lightwell of the Bank of New Zealand building, Collins Street, Melbourne, yesterday, there was a deafening explosion, which wrecked the bank chambers on the ground floor and offices on the mezzanine and first floors. It blew glass from the front windows right across the street and sent a bronze transom over the front door of the bank hurtling to the footpath. A remarkable feature was that nobody was injured. ,
