I am skeptical of wayne's statement! the tailights and tires are not showing those "damages" that you stated. but since there was an actual fire, probably could not move the surviving vechiles off the garage normally. only choice is to either a) crane, probably insurance(s) could not work together, then declared loss due to time and expenses. or B) construction temporoary or reinforcement ramps. which i am betting car insurance(s) is not paying for that (not in car coverage policy). thus declared loss. [that is declared, not total loss: two different definitions]

@@rynait Once the insurance company declares them as a total loss, doesn't matter how little or much they were damaged. Recovery of those vehicles were possibly more than the vehicles values.

For people saying the cars could have been saved. The car park was very badly damaged. Some of the floors had collapsed and most of the building was unsafe. It would have been difficult and probably dangerous to try and get them down in one piece. Almost certainly more expensive than most of them were worth.

Even if the cars were 100% and the top deck was in a safe condition, to drive them down would have entailed driving on the ramps and decks at lower levels where the fire was at it's most intense and the structure was compromised. Certainly not worth hiring a crane at the cost of several thousand of £££s and placing a worker at risk on the top deck just to salvage a few grands worth if second hand cars. No way that the site health and safety officer would allow it.

Sad although it is to see. Hopefully the insurance paid out for a lot of them.
