People still had a few frozen snowballs in their fridge, so they had to pick a target. Scumbags, all of them. Those people them.

Spin 103.8 are saying that part of the building was blown off and onto the street and that the street is expected to be closed for several hours.

Top floor of that trinity building (the building with the climbing wall).

They're worried more of it's gonna fall so it's a bit dodgy to try take pics!

There have been 3 guys up in a skylift the last few days trying to fix it.
a few sheets came down today around 10am.
A guy had just pulled up to park outside the church when the sheets hit the back of the car, smashing the rear window.
Might pop out for a fag and see if any more came down.

Also, lolz++
