And there goes Scotland's only police helicopter.   I don't suppose that anyone could have survived that if they were in it?

Uh Oh lets hope no one dies from that

Damn....just seen the news....how are we going to get another chopper and a equally good grew to fly it.

@ Sam, they could have survived because the helicopter only crashed, no explosion or fires, so theoretically the crew could be safe.

Well that sucks

Should've went with the Huey. Those things never crash... Right?

 

It was an big helicopter, then I thought it was, damn they was so lucky to live

UPDATE: Police Scotland Chief Constable Stephen House ha confirmed 1 fatality and 32 in hospitals around Glasgow. Very sad news.

What is it with police vehicles crashing at the moment? On Friday there was two crashes involving police vehicles in West Sussex one in Littlehampton (In-between Chichester and Worthing) and another in Hove (Near Brighton). And there was another crash with another police vehicle on Wednesday somewhere in West Sussex But at least it wasn't as serious as this helicopter crash. Shit I hope everyone is ok.

The Police have only confirmed one fatality at this time.

 

I have just been in Glasgow doing some christmas shopping and parked next to the scene. Multiple fire appliances still on scene with all other services. Car park was filled with news vans from around the world. 

 

The area is very congested at this time.

 

EDIT: 8 people now confirmed dead.

The only thing we can do is hope no more die.

Scottish Fire and Rescue are saying it is no longer a rescue mission but a recovery mission.

I went to see it while doing some Christmas shopping and it is a horrible scene but all the services are being so calm and professional about it! This incident is a real testament to my fellow Glaswegians who helped out. Yes, R.I.P

You guys live up to your reputation, Glaswegians should be feared by everyone! because they are awesomely calm and professional with ought really knowing it!
