What an unlucky turn of events. That is some big iron to have to try and repair/replace.
Definitely not something anyone would want to go through because it will end badly for both sides (insurance company and owners).

LOL, American architects and building codes FTW. Since the record snow in the record is soemwhere around 60 inches the roof needs to designed to carry that weight at least. Looks like not enough slope for the roof area. I saw yesterday workers shoveling snow on the roof af a 2 year old Safeway. You see nobody shoveling snow in Europe. Building codes here are a joke.
