Helicopter crashes into Clutha pub, Glasgow


The Master

What the hell has questioning the length of the naming process got to do with a conspiracy?

You'd be better sticking to the referendum threads if that's the extent of your input.

To clarify, those were 2 separate points.

The conspiracy part was aimed at the poster a page or two back that claims the authorities may have known about it beforehand.

She was from Knightswood but was a cop in Greenock for years. She married a fellow cop from Greenock a couple of years ago and took his surname, guess that's where your dad will know the name from. They were living in Inverkip.

Shit, the same family then.

Sorry for the loss fella, hope the in laws are getting the support they need.

Thanks again, think they're just wanting to get the funeral sorted but obviously having to wait for the post mortem.

My partners and Kirsty's uncle lives in Canada and he was over in the summer and they gave him a Scottish police hat to take home with him and he hung it on his wall. It hung there no problem for 5 months, but when he came home from work on Friday evening about 12 midnight here and 5pm there it had fell on the floor.

Creepy stuff hm.

My auld granda, who live in Govanhill said he heard a helicopter circling over head for a good half hour at about half 9. I'm guessing it's probably the same one. Do we even know yet why the copter was out and about yet?

I live near the High Street and I quite often heard it flying overhead on a Friday night (and it was a common sight to see it flying over to the East End and back).

I don't really understand this chat about the roof. It used to be a 3 storey tenement so it has three roofs is what they say. But it's only one floor so how does that work?

I think a lot of the problem with the roof was down to soundproofing.

I think the 3 storey part was to explain that the walls were very thick.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can add their tuppence worth.

I watched an interview with a senior Fireman who went into a bit of detail about the roof - something about the original floor from the first story building being left in place with the 'new' roof being added above it !

I'm on my phone which puts me off Googling it though.

It mentions that it used to be a or 4 story high building so the walls are a bout a meter thick instead of about 9 inch witch is normal. The roof is made up of 3 layers.
