Lisa Cuddy Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Two officers and a civilian pilot according to BBC. Sounds harsh, but I just breathed a huge sigh of relief. Woman on BBC News on the telly saying that they've not received any confirmations of fatalities yet. Though, she's not very good it has to be said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Is it just me or do all of the eyewitness accounts seem to conflict? This Graeme chap seems to have heard a huge bang, yet Grace in the pub said they didn't hear anything. I guess the folk watching the band, Esperenza, playing didn't notice at first. Luckily the roof took most of the impact, otherwise there could have been even more fatalities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Eyewitness on BBC News saying that she didn't think it had crashed because there was no fire or explosion and that it might have just tried to land on the roof. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mid-table Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Unpopular opinion alert; I wish people would stop going on about the "spirit of Glasgow". Whilst not denying it, it's kind of missing the point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanmistermustard Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 In this day and age there surely will be footage of the impact which will turn up at some point. Maybe video from inside the pub from someone recording the Ska band on their phones 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 You know like how it sounds when you shoot down a helicopter in CoD Should have asked if it was a 360 or a new XBox One. Guarantee he was playing GTA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 "Has it been confirmed that it's a helicopter?" This is a repeat of an interview that was on earlier, around an hour ago at least. I think this girl was fresh out of the pub at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Two officers and a civilian pilot according to BBC. Sounds harsh, but I just breathed a huge sigh of relief. It isn't really harsh. Looking at the wreckage and listening to eyewitness accounts, it was pretty much a given that the crew wouldn't have survived the crash....most people expected that. Awful as it is, the thought of someone out enjoying a night out and dying in the perceived safety of a pub in such circumstances would have been utterly unthinkable. In the crash investigation, the possibility will be that the actions of the crew (ie, bringing it down on a seemingly innocuous and flat-roofed building instead of a busy road, the apparent modicum of control in the landing preventing an explosion etc) prevented further fatalities and they'll be remembered as heroes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely to be an explosion as the interia crash controls would have operated the fuel shut off valves and Jet A1 is difficult to ignite (like diesel) unless atomised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
