Helicopter has crashed into a pub in Glasgow's city centre. The pub would have most likely been full, as it was a Friday night. Hopefully no fatalities, but doesn't look good.

BBC news just interviewed a girl who was inside. Think it maybe landed, then the roof fell in. As she said that the band kept on playing, until the roof started to fall in.

My friend made a facebook post a minute or so after it occured saying "Did I really just see a helicopter fall from the sky?"

3 confirmed deaths and over 30 injured. There were over 100 people in the pub at the time...Absolutely mental!

Wait wut? I heard they just heard a smooth whoosh and some smoke and then they joked about the band bringing the roof down and then it literally did, but the way she said it was as though it was all really slow and just a planned roof landing lol.

8 people are confirmed dead now. With 14 seriously injured. Didn't think it was this serious at the start. Condolences to the people who have lost family.

That's my friends big sister. /claim

It so weird knowing that something like this can happen so close to home. Condolences and vibes to all the families involved.



On another note, did not realise how many people on NS are from Glasgow, never mind Scotland. Yessa.

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




Police in Glasgow arrested a man painting 'HAPPY ST. ANDREWS DAY' on a pub roof. Fortunately they managed to stop him after finish the 'H'.





Someone was telling a joke on the news earlier... Something about a helicopter going into a bar, but I didn't catch the punchline.




I went into a pub in Glasgow last night, and must admit,i thought they had gone overboard with the ceiling fan.
