Unhappy Mini Crushed to Death in Sydney Storms

Did anyone watch ch 10 news?
If you did, I'm sure you will agree with me that they should have carried a warning that the "following scenes may cause distress to some viewers" There was a Black and White Mini Cooper in Sydney crushed to death in the storms.

I just hope it was no-ones on Mini2.

Green Cooper

Yes Brett....I saw it on the later news. I thought it was our colour (BRG) but I could not really tell. I only hope the fatality that occurred in the storms was not connected to that Mini. My condolences to all though.

Unhappy sad...

seems that the fatality was car related, just not the mini in question...
