CambCelt Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 From Chortle: Glasgow’s comedians are to stage a charity show to help those affected by Friday’s helicopter crash at The Clutha bar. The pub has links with the comedy circuit: Billy Connolly occasionally visited music gigs there, and the venue recently held open mic sessions on a Wednesday night. Local comics including Des McLean, Des Clarke, Janey Godley and ‘two famous Glasgow funnymen’ are among those on the bill of the benefit, which will take place on Sunday December 22 at the O2 Academy. Organiser Alan Anderson said: ‘The comics wanted to do something tangible to help, and bring back a smile to Clydeside.’ The show will raise money for for the survivors, families of victims and the rescue services who attended Friday's crash. The tragic accident claimed nine lives, the three people in the helicopter and six drinkers in the pub. The bill also includes Gary Little, Mark Nelson, Susie McCabe, Bruce Morton, Stu Who, Scott Agnew, Billy Kirkwood, Ashley Storrie and The Wee Man, plus music from Tom Urie, best known as Big Bob in the BBC Scotland soap opera River City. Tickets will be on sale on Thursday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Des Clarke? Bruce Morton? I thought they said it was comedians performing. What exactly are they raising money for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 So is 9 deaths the final total? Is everyone that was in the pub accounted for one way or the other? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 So is 9 deaths the final total? Is everyone that was in the pub accounted for one way or the other?Looks that way they have came out and said that they have removed all the bodies. By the looks of it the number will now only rise if any of the ones in hospital die of there injuries witch hopefully won't happen. Also the helicopter has arrived at the AAIB for there investigation to start on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambCelt Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) The Prince of Wales is preparing to meet some of the emergency workers who were involved in the Glasgow helicopter crash operation. Prince Charles is to visit the city on Friday, a week after the police helicopter crashed onto the Clutha bar. Nine people died - the aircraft's crew of three and six people attending a music gig at the pub. The prince, whose Scottish title is the Duke of Rothesay, will sign a book of condolence at Glasgow City Chambers. A short statement on the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall's website said: "The Duke of Rothesay will visit Glasgow to meet emergency service personnel and others involved in the response to the helicopter crash in Glasgow city centre last Friday. "His Royal Highness will also sign the Book of Condolence at the City Chambers." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-25248272 Edited December 6, 2013 by CambCelt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock001 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Looks like the funerals have started. Is it just me who thinks the police honour guard and motorcycle outriders were out of order at the pilot's funeral? The lack of a mayday call means it was almost certainly pilot error, so why does the public foot the bill? -13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports claim the chopper was plummeting and in a spin, are you gonna be able to raise a mayday during that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also was a member of the helicopter display team and a pilot trainer. The fact that the helicopter was near its landing pad and that they always operate at low altitude tends to mean the time to react in an emergency is minimal. Well done for the most tactless, clueless post I have ever seen on P&B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'm hesitant to put what I've heard on this thread given it's a public arena. Let me just say that there's a lot of speculation among people in the know that theres a lot more to the causes of this crash than what's been seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Interesting to hear the police appealing today for more witnesses - particularly anyone who might have taken some video of the crash and what followed. Do they imagine that half of Glasgow prowl around at night with video phones/cameras trained on the sky just in case something comes crashing down. .

We can judge it on it's own merits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
