One of the news services reported that the MINI was rolled over by firefighters so they could get to a gas valve to shut off service to the building.

I checked NEMINI - Index to see if it belongs to anyone we know, so far no reports.

Looks like the Mini held up well, all things considered. Hope the owner was ok.

Ant FR, we're not being disrespectful. Worrying about the owner of the MINI makes the tragedy more personal.
