Doesn't sound good at all. My thoughts go out to anyone involved or with loved ones on the site.

Right by the river so could have been :-\

I'm surprised there isn't some conspiracy theorists shouting that it was a terrorist attack on MI6 ::)

As above, thoughts to those that are involved in any way

I have just watched that drama unfold live on the morning news.

Smartphones have really changed the way News is reported.

It turns out that the Pilot was very experienced and well respected in the profession, also being a 'stunt Pilot' on films, including James Bond and a Great North Air Ambulance Pilot who has been involved in a number of high profile rescues....... :y :y

Thoughts are with the family and friends of the 2 people who died............ :( :(

I have to agree with the comments being made that it was lucky that many other people did not lose their lives....

I saw the aftermath of this on way in to work this morning - very very sad. Seems to be a freak set of events coming together - when your numbers up......

Its a sad affair and regrettable that innocents have suffered again but it was inevitable that it would happen one day. Years to come will see the skys as full as the roads if history is anything to go by and it will only get worse. The price we pay for technology and progress is somethimes way too high. Just a thought.....
