London: At least six people are feared dead and 32 injured after a police helicopter crashed into a pub in the Scottish city of Glasgow.
The Eurocopter EC135 T2 chopper had a crew of three consisting of two police officers and a civilian pilot as it came down on the Clutha Vaults pub last night on the bank of the River Clyde, which was packed with more than 100 people at the time who were listening to a performing band.
“There were three people on board the helicopter, two police officers and a civilian pilot, and on a busy Friday night, there were a number of customers in the bar,” said Rose Fitzpatrick, deputy chief constable, Police Scotland.
“We are working hard to recover people still inside the building and we will make further details available when we have them,” she said.
