"What are you going to do, lob a stone at me from 300m away?" shouted the man on the parapet, moments before impact.

I hate this meme. Someone says "think about what you are doing prideful fool". And the other person still decides to use lethal force. That is diabolical, not funny.

Interesting find! I wonder if the massive damage could also be explained by the falling wall (documented in the article).

Indeed, I am sure there are other mechanisms that could cause similar trauma.
