      paul backhard the ramps and the interior floors, I remember seeing footage from when this first happened and you could see where the concrete had just crumbled away between the reinforcements leaving huge gaps in the floors. Totally impossible to drive any surviving cars out... shame they couldn’t have airlifted them off the roof but I’m guessing that it’s be too costly and risky considering that you need a team of people actually on the roof to secure them.
      Kinda sad seeing cars that are in undamaged getting crushed by the claw but not much else they can do... I’m guessing they still have some scrap value, engines, catalytic converters and on many of them, wheels will be usable.

    All the cars that were bought down with the claw are going off to Hills Motors in Skelmersdale where owners can go and get their belongings out.All those that are burnt to a crisp are going straight to the scrap metal merchants together with the rebar from the building.

    I looked at the drove footage. It appears some of the cars on the roof, and some of the cars on the lower levels on the UPWIND side may still be in good condition, but getting them off the roof would be too expensive, and it may be too dangerous to enter the lower level to get the "good" cars away.

      Compared to how many of these structures exsists and how many go up in flames makes your statement seam rather daft. Theyre built from concrete which doesnt go up in flames. Also majority multi-stpry car parks have fire fighting equipment such as sprinklers. End of the day depends how you feel. Some people would argue that aircraft are unsafe.

      @charlotteclarke4665 4 роки тому

      This would give the insurance company reason for them to dismiss any claim as it shows the cars were not damaged by the fire but instead "sold or scrapped by the owner." This was the case with someone I know who's car was in a similar circumstance when it was stranded by flood water whilst parked and suffered only minor damage but the building was condemned due to unstable ground. When he tried to appeal the decision, the insurance company threatened to file charges against him for fraud if he didn't let it go.
      If this happens the only option for the owners of cars in this video would be to seek compensation from the land owner since I'm sure that looks like it did not have a working fire suppression system which is a legal requirement for buildings like this one. Although I personally would've liked to go after those who owned the car that started the fire if this happened to me, I like getting revenge on people.

This figure is probably rising rather than falling as cars become more complex. So keeping a good car running is more environmentally sound than destroying it needlessly.
