    Good Luck Glasgow

    A horrible thing to happen.

    We're thinking of you and hope you don't lose too many.

    A pub I've played in many times over the years. I don't know if any friends were there last night

      This time last year (and if it wasn't for the Roddy Frame tour next week, this year) we would be staying at the holiday inn opposite for Christmas shopping.

      Can only hope that a lot of people got out uninjured and just went home...
      merely at clientco for the entertainment

        Quite sad, pub would have been very busy at that time. I can only think the helicopter was trying to land at the junction.

          'Good luck Glasgow' Imagine that headline on the tabloids.

            So far they've gotten the kegs of Tennants out of the cellar but they haven't been able to get the Buckfast or the scotch yet...

            Was in a pub in Glasgow last night and it was utter chaos, Smoke everywhere, People screaming. Fighting ,spilled beer and men trampling each other in a blind panic to be free, Then to make matters worse a ******* helicopter crashed through the roof.

            Shocking news unfolding on our TV screens right now from Glasgow.
            Hundreds of Scots leaving a pub before last orders.

            My thoughts go out to all those affected by police helicopter crash in Glasgow
            In fact my thoughts go out to anyone who lives in Glasgow

            Emergency services trying to free people from the bar in Glasgow that a helicopter crashed into have said progress is "difficult."
            I'm not surprised. Have you ever tried getting a scot out of a pub after 10 pints?




            RIP to those who died.
            Ban this sick asshole please.

              A bit too close to home for me and I really don't appreciate any so called humour.

              Haven't heard from my mate who's usually in there Friday's and Saturday's with his wife listening to bands, not expecting the worst but worrying anyway.

                Tragic for those killed/hurt - very upsetting.

                On sky news an aviation "expert" suggested mechanical failure very unlikely and suggested more likely was someone firing shots at the helicopter. Apparently it has happened before. If true I hope the mob gets them before the police do.

                New team member starting Monday from the Glasgow office and I know he was out at his leaving do Friday night. I hope he is okay.

                  Yes, our Glasgow contingent have my sympathy.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    Sorry you and Cliphead were upset by the jokes.

                    Yes it was a nasty business, and I hope the survivors make a good recovery.
