RH33 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 You mean aside from something which sounds like a superhero powering up? I cringe every time he enters brave heart mode. Idiot. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 News anchor: "What is the pub like?" Christina: "I've never actually drank in there" News anchor: "Was there a band playing?" Christina: "I think there was meant to be a band playing, yeah" I bet they're really regretting speaking to Christina now. They only want her for her Skype. They got bored and have moved on to another woman who is also an eyewitness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 They got bored and have moved on to another woman who is also an eyewitness. At least this one can answer without saying "Oh, two minutes" as if she's doing something more important than speaking to CNN about a helicopter crashing into a pub by her house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 ??????? Lets hope noone you know was in there mate. Let's hope so indeed. Same sentiment to you.

SheepAreRed Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Pretty frightening stuff. Awful both for the crew and those stuck in the pub. ETA: Surprised that BBC don't yet have live footage at the scene given BBC Scotland HQ is so close by. Aye Radio Scotland still just carrying on as normal. Fivelive been reporting on it for over an hour. I see this helicopter every night from where I am in Kelvindale. My wee boy watches it. Only 2 or 3of them in operation, from near the SECC. Read on another forum that there are 2 deaths but have not seen or heard that anywhere else. Hope not true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Gordon Smart saying he needs to watch his words as a lot of information is unconfirmed. Yeah, God forbid that a journalist from The Sun might get the details wrong and spread disinformation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Thanks to CNN for clarifying it was a music band playing. Publicity stunt IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarusQPFC Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 The rotors basically freewheel - if they were rotating as the aircraft went through the roof they would have stopped reasonably quickly ! I agree, but even if the engine had been working as the chopper crashed then the rotors would have broken free on impact. Id be surprised if theres no fatalities from this, hope im wrong tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 CNN anchor "Amazing the helicopter didn't explode" Real life isn't a Michael Bay movie, things don't explode because they get hit pretty hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 It says a lot about BBC Scotland that when a major news story breaks that is very concerning and making global news that they just go, 'Aye, but that's not on the schedule'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, God forbid that a journalist from The Sun might get the details wrong and spread disinformation. To be fair. Smart has always seemed a decent guy in spite of the utter shambles which continually goes on all around him. Though, I'm sure in his new position, we'll see if that's indeed the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
