Would it be normal for the rafters to be tied into the brickwork to
resist
the gable potentially being €śblown out€ť?


That guy was lucky not to have been hit by a brick that could well have
'bounced' towards him.


He is so cool about it.


Not inside he wasnt.

How did he manage that?


By being on his way to the train to an exam.

He just waited a second until bits stopped dropping, then carried on as if
nothing had happened.


Pity about the state of his undies.

Wonder how he did in the exam.
