So so sorry for you fella....... on the brighter side of things, at least no one was in there when it all came down... not much consolation to you though i know.
Really feel for ya... hope everything gets sorted out.

we closed the road last night thats why you cant see any traffic.
as moving the cars.the cossie is missing its management and the capri a engine (its in the cossie)
was no fun being there with steel plates and wood flying round you.
as to why its fallen down? the bolt that hold the bottom frame has been ripped up from the concrete so the whole building has been in the air at some point.
the wind is still blowing wery hard so i have put a volvo digger to hold the rest so it doesnt fly away

looks like it just "fell apart". especially looking at the last picutre, not much in the way of fixings on that section?
good luck finding panels for the capri
hope it all gets sorted quick!

even 6x2 it looks like the roof is over too big a span thus being far too heavy 
i would say cavity wall with built in pillers on the inside skin would be the way to go.
or 215mm block on flat single skin with pillers would be the way to go.
