Do they think there could be people still inside? The policeman talking seemed to be suggesting it as he said the helicopter was filling the room and they wouldn't be able to see everything till it was removed
Terrible.
Triggs springs to mind - nowhere near I hope
Yes Aimee. It was suggested from the first that there may be people/bodies trapped at the back of the pub, behind where the helicopter is half through the roof.
Eight dead now (3 in helicopter and 5 from pub) and 14 seriously injured in hospital. Several more were taken to hospital, but only had minor injuries.
Aw jeeze.. that's terrible.
Thanks to everyone who was worried about me - but I feel such a fake as I was perfectly ok and there are all those people who aren't. (Can't say I don't feel quite touched though )

Terrible . Police chief has just been on TV saying they can't be sure of the number of fatalities until the recovery operation is complete .
The identities of the three from the helicopter have now been officially confirned.
Peckin order for the deceased on tv news.

Hello Slinks Och, it's an awful shame, isn't it? Great to see you x
Oh no - a ninth body has been found, meanwhile a fifth one has been named.

ahhh, no .
Really horrible accident. It's one of those that makes you sit up and think ;did I hear that right?'.
If I'm honest, looking at it I'm surprised there has only been 9 confirmed fatalities.
(as an aside, lovely to see you back Skinki)
Police confirm rescue and recovery is complete and no more casualties or bodies were found.
There are now only 12 casualties detained in hospital. Unfortunately two of them have been transferred to the Spinal Injuries Unit in the Southern General Hospital - a few miles away on the south side of the river.

There's three there EFFT .. one was transferred there on Fri night, two since.

I watched some of this and thought it was too soon!
They had a guy on there being interviewed the day after who had heard about it on the bus and just said "My dad's there i just know he's dead" a bit later in the interview they make him explain that had happen an hour earlier...... The police had asked him and his sisters to go id their dads body later that day.......
That is over stepping the mark of decency imo, that poor blokes head must ha been all over the place and to put him infront of a camera to talk about it......
I dunno was it just me who felt like that???

I watched the BBC interviews, if one can call it that. IMO, shocking. These people are grieving and confused , I think the BBC overstepped the line.
I am Scottish, and my heart goes out to those who have lost family, friends etc. But terribly proud of the way the Emergency Services dealt with it, plus the love and help with ordinary folk in Glasgow. Wonderful people, they will get through this...
3 nights ago I saw a woman on the news saying she didn't know what's happened to her brother. She knew he was in the pub that night, had tried calling him many times but no answer. She was disappointed with the response she'd had from the police who suggested maybe he'd never been there but the fact she hadn't heard from him since the accident left her concerned. A few hours later it was announced another body had been found and named but I noticed it wasn't the name of her brother, Michael. Does anyone know if one of the deceased is named Michael as I keep remembering his sister and wondering what the outcome was.
YR, none of them was called Michael - unless it was a second name.

Oh thanks Fluffs. The sister showed a pic of him, called him a gentle giant who'd help anyone and she called him Michael. I've not seen her on the news since then although I don't always watch it...I think I saw her on BBC News, I thought it might have been mentioned on Scottish tv news as a follow up story. Not sure what to think now, just hope through whatever circumstances he's safe.
There was one called Mark O'Prey that sort of fits with what you're describing, but I thought it was his Aunt who was spoken with.
Mark O'Prey had travelled into Glasgow on Friday from his flat in East Kilbride to see his favourite local band Esperanza perform at the Clutha Vaults.
His sister Louise O'Prey said the 44-year-old was unlucky because they believe he was killed by timber from the roof while he was trying to rescue others.
I'm pretty sure that's the man the sister showed a pic of although the clothes are different. The sister had an older woman with her who maybe was the Aunt. Thanks for finding that Fluffs, I can stop wondering now I know the family have an answer, as the sister said, if he's died they need to lay him to rest
The death toll is 10 now, as one of the 'seriously injured' dies in hospital.

broken into what bar?
The Clutha.
This Slinki.
Four teenagers have appeared in court charged with breaking into the Clutha bar
where 10 people died in the Glasgow helicopter crash last month.
Jeeeez .
