Roof collapse at petrol station this am?

While driving from the Mall towards Ering road this morning, I passed the Tayseer Petrol station. It looked like the roof covering the petrol pumps had collapsed. A bus (40 passenger) had been hit but it looked likely that most of the occupants should have been able to exit without serious injury.

Anyone have any further news?

Some idiot must have hit his 4x4 car on the pillar of the Petrol Station.....

Seen them all:

Going through compound walls....

Jumping over Compound Walls.....

Driving into hotels....

Gives "bringing the roof down" a real feel.

I passed it this morning, police and fire brigade are still there. Looks like a marketplace in Baghdad.
