Heli crash!
« on: January 16, 2013, 10:52:53 AM »
I awoke to the noise of sirens this morning and casually said to my children "someone's having a bad day today".  Little did I know that a couple of miles away this had happened:

Some of the kids at my children's school live just a few yards away from the crash and could well have been walking underneath the incident as the wreckage fell. 

What a bizarre incident.

I saw this am and thought what a bizarre incident.
hope the children are ok.

Apparently the workmen assigned to the roof space were awaiting the "fog" to clear so they could proceed to go to the roof.
Lucky for them indeed.Apparently it caused chaos around the area .

The roads all around here were crazy for most of the day.  Even on my motorbike I had to take backroads to get home.

It was so close to me it is becoming more scary the more I think of it.  When I work in the east or north (London), I pass through exactly where it happened at exactly that time in the morning.  I even had a few txts from people making sure I hadn't been caught up in it.
