This made me think of David-- doesn't he work in a restaurant/pub in Glasgow?
This is so very sad. I mean, what are the odds?
I just read about this in our local news paper. So sad.

‘Black day’
"Scotland’s First Minster Alex Salmond praised the “courage of ordinary Glaswegians” on Saturday morning.
“This is a black day for Glasgow and Scotland.
“On St Andrew’s Day we can take pride and courage in how people responded to this tragedy.
“We can take great pride in how we responded to this extraordinary tradgedy.”
“A full investigation is now under way. However, at this early stage it is too early to provide details on why the helicopter came down,” said Deputy Chief Constable Rose Fitzpatrick.
“We are working hard to recover people still inside the building and we will make further details available when we have them.”
Emergency workers were still labouring to free any people trapped in the rubble. The mangled helicopter was embedded in the pub’s roof.
Police Scotland said it was too early to speculate on what caused the Eurocopter EC135 T2, the force’s only helicopter, to smash into the pub.
The helicopter did not appear to have caught fire. The Air Accident Investigation Branch has begun an investigation.
Helicopter operator Bond Air Services said it was working with Police Scotland.
A large section of the city centre was cordoned off with all roads leading to the junction of Clyde Street, Stockwell Street, Bridgegate and the Victoria Bridge closed."
This is awful - my Mom was from Glasgow and I still have relatives over there. Apparently there are eight confirmed dead and many more injured.

Flags will fly at half-mast across Scotland this weekend as a mark of respect for those affected by the helicopter crash in Glasgow.
