A sad day.

[pault]

As im sure many of you know there was a terrible accident last night in Glasgow where a police helicopter crashed into a crowded pub in the town centre.

I myself was only round the block from the accident at the time. Group of us ran over to try and help but couldnt get into the pub due to debris. All we could do was grab people within reach. Times like this you wonder weather you could have done more to help.

 

Thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and families involved. Not a nice way to start St Andrews day.

Im not usually down that end of town so i was in the wrong place at the right time i guess. Did what i hope anyone would have done in that situation. I have to commend the emergency services though as they responded extremely quickly and set to work straight away.

well done for trying and i feel so sorry for every one, and my deepest sympathies are with the families and friends who lost a loved one.

You can only do what you can. No more. Don't dwell on it. You are neither trained or experienced with any sort of search or rescue. You could have even made things worse by getting in as you didn't know what structural integrity of the pub was. Move the wrong bit of debris and you could end up a casualty.

 

You did what you could do at the time. And hats off to you for it.

 

Such a rare and strange incident.

RIP , very sad indeed!
