It is interesting how the news gets things wrong.
I can say for a fact the car was not on fire before it crashed into the glass. It only caught fire a few seconds later from the friction of the speeding wheels. I heard on the news also eyewitness reports of petrol bombs. There may well have been after I had run away, but I know it was the friction of the tyres that caused the initial flames to ignite.
Also the car was not going particularly fast when it crashed into the glass as has been claimed. The slow speed of the impact was what made it all seem rather trivial to start with. It was as if the driver had lost control slightly and banged into the wall. But then he started speeding up the wheels, and that's when people round about me realised something was wrong. I was a bit slow at first to realise it was not just an accident.
