A helicopter has crashed into a pub roof on the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow.
The aircraft struck The Clutha in Stockwell Street which was packed with drinkers at the time.
Emergency services were unable to confirm if there were any injuries, but it is believed people may be trapped.

Terrible news :(

Re: Police helicopter crashes into lasgow pub roof

First I knew about it was a call off my brother to check I wasn't there.

I've heard that Police chopper over head many times. So glad there was only injuries and no deaths by the sound of it.

mages of the crash on social media sites showed the dark blue helicopter on the roof with yellow "POLICE" insignia on part of the wreckage. The Police Roll of Honour Trust tweeted "Our thoughts are with the crew of @policescotland SP99 helicopter that has crashed in Glasgow - hoping everyone is alright."

Not good, not good at all :(

Re: Police helicopter crashes into Glasgow pub roof

Watching it on the news now, I hope everyone involved is OK.

Re: Police helicopter crashes into Glasgow pub roof

3rd time now the Strathclyde/Police Scotland chopper has crashed.

Sadly this looks like the worst incident by far. I'm gutted, I know some of the air observers and can't help but think the worst while waiting for news.

Great pub. It would have been mobbed on a Friday night. Only the width of a road and a cycle path from ditching in the Clyde. Poor people :(
