I've seen one comment on Facebook suggesting no other than minor injuries but I can't confirm.
and this is why you can't trust people on Facebook.
Praying everyone makes a full recovery.

I'm not saying it was mate. I was commenting on the fact I'd seen one facebook comment claiming everyone was fine when it's clearly not true.
