One of my favourite pubs, five minutes walk from my house, was hit by a police helicopter last night.

Three people have died after a police helicopter crashed into a busy pub in Glasgow, the BBC understands.
Police Scotland have confirmed one death but said they expected the final number of fatalities would be higher. A rescue operation is continuing.
The crash happened at The Clutha in Stockwell Street at 22:25 on Friday.
There were three people on board the helicopter - two officers and a civilian pilot. Thirty-two people have been taken to local hospitals.

At least you weren't in there playing at the time... Yay... This place is dead enough already.
 
we were worried about you Robert.

so far 8 dead....horrible

sounds like a freak accident.
 
I was at a show last night - when the first band came on I couldn't help but look up and check the ceiling.
 
I'm guessing there's no conclusion because the pilot is dead and we can't ask him what the heck he was thinking.
 
Things move slowly here:
Five-year wait for Glasgow pub helicopter crash inquiry 'unacceptable'
Survivors and relatives of 10 people killed when police helicopter crashed in 2013 express frustration at delay
The wreckage of the police helicopter is removed from the Clutha pub in Glasgow.

An inquiry into the deaths of 10 people killed when a police helicopter crashed on the Clutha pub in Glasgow will take place nearly five years after the tragedy.
