Looking at those, my first thought is that the deck overhang past the
horizontal support is rather large for such a thin deck, especially
with
the weight of the vertical fluted fascia panel perched on the end.

Also noticeable that the rear wheels of the silver people carrier are
actually past the horizontal support - compare with other parked cars
whose rear wheels are more or less sitting on the horizontal beam
underneath (see image 23).

Although the people-carrier is nearer the edge, I don't think its
bumper
would have hit the parapet. Perhaps they should have roped off that
line
of parking bays while they fettled around underneath.

The line of overhanging deck/parapet could have peeled away starting at
the scaffolding near the blue saloon, and running towards the
entry/exit
ramps, before being halted by the pit-props.


No vehicle would hit the wall directly. There is (was) an armco
barrier stopping that happening (see images 22 and 26).

Those Armco barriers are not at the ends of parking bays, they are along
the *sides of ramps*.



The Armco at the side of the ramps is still there.

Look again at picture 26 along with picture 24. The Armco is still
attached to and is dangling from the end of the parking bay at the RHS
(above the crushed scaffolding). The rest of it landed on the lower
level ramp to the private car park underneath the NCP car park.

A look around street view

gives a better look and feel of the layout than the photos in the newslink.



And some better photos (sorry but it's the Daily Star)
