Helicopter crashes into Glasgow pub, multiple casualties: BBC

(Reuters) - A helicopter crashed into a pub in Glasgow on Friday, causing multiple injuries, the BBC reported on its website.

BBC News quoted Member of Parliament Jim Murphy as saying: "It's a well established Glasgow pub. It's a horrible, horrible scene, but well done to the folk who were here. Everyone formed a chain of people from inside the pub to outside, and the fire brigade and everyone were here very quickly."

Describing the aftermath of the incident as a "horrible scene", he said dozens of fire officers as well as police were in the area.

"It seems like a helicopter crashed into the roof of this very busy pub. I was passing and just got out of my car to try to help people."
