Severe winds caused the roof of this three-storey building in Shepherd's Bush to collapse on Uxbridge Road. The below video shows just how unbelievably fortunate the people walking by were to avoid any serious injury from the falling debris. Take a look and get ready to wince. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF5txpFMaI0 Hammersmith and Fulham Council responded to the incident, confirming: 'Miraculously, no one was seriously hurt when the building caved in...' 'There is no further immediate danger to the public, the Health and Safety Executive have been informed of the incident and the road and pavement have been re-opened.'
