Helicopter crash in London

[centurian]

Radio 2 says no, they were just about to go up.

Sky News reporting that the crane operator would have been in the cab by 0800 - but was late for work today

[Old Hack]

Could see the smoke from here...

Very bad.

I was in very early, and from what I understand, he was flying under the mist. Was this possibly as he wasn't certified to fly in low vis? Very odd.

[BolshieBastard]

Obviously condolences to those who lost their lives.

But WTF was that loon in the mini doing driving over the piece of burning wreckage? And then, reversing back over it?

Im mean WTF is so important that you have to go towards more flames?

Apparently he wasn't even scheduled to go into central London, but decided to land at Battersea instead because of the weather

Helicopter crashed outside my school once, missed it by 10 minutes.

Have you never worked in London?

Everyone drives like that the whole time. They would run over their granny to get into work 0.5 seconds faster.

A safe move.

News that assguru was being ferried by his butler to his new part-time job by helicopter are sadly wide of the mark.

Not surprised it happened to be honest. The fog was bad this morning. When I got into the office in Canary Wharf I couldn't see a single building around ours, or the ground

[Old Hack]

What mini?

Have I missed something?

I guess he didn't see it when he went over it, then saw what was going on, and wanted to get the hell ot of dodge.

Did it catch fire in the end?
