For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.

Rules:

No deaths or serious injuries because who would be around to get told they couldn't park there?
Be excellent to each other

I don't know how it got that way.

I do know I'm supposed to investigate with binoculars from a pretty far distance, then

setup a hoseline in case the fuel ignites
only let rescuers get close for a few seconds to connect stabilizers like struts or junk yard dogs all around any direction it can fall
disconnect the batteries on all three
put on the parking break on all three
add chocks under the frame of the two with all 4 wheels on the ground

After that I'd find the easiest way to extract the victims, probably by cutting off the roof with our electric cutters avoiding any undeployed airbags in the roof struts.

Finally, we'd move the victims through where the windshield is, taking care to put neck / back collars on any with possible spinal injuries.

And that's the end of my armchair quarterbacking. Here's hoping I do all of these steps the next time I have a rescue like this.
