Airmen? So sexist…..
Why is Fawkes so obsessed about this helicopter story? Is it because of his known love of choppers?
Did Guido have problems getting to work today?
WORK….LOL
Ypu dont know much about your hero.
Gudio is an Ex City tosse*r who made a load of cash quickly in square mile…ie did bugger all… then retired to set up his blogg
Whereas you are just a sponger from the State.
,
.is helideli incident about less freedoms?
the view from above i.e the helicopter view is a bit like sitting in quiet eyes closed and observing your thoughts.
ahhhh bliss.
hmmmm..Mark 4 .. come back to bed I’m still hard.
The link to the NOTAM is dead.
Has the NOTAM been taken down?
If so, why?
He usually bigs up some such when he wants to divert attention from some disgusting/disgraceful Tory behavour that he suports.
New here?
Guido gives all politicians a kicking here no matter which colour rosette they wear.
He hurts my feeling each and every day.
Rubbish. Guido is a dyed in the wool UKIP troll.
I believe it relates to his support for UKIP and fear that Fondling Farrago was in some way involved given his aviation record.
I’d just like to reassure my fans that it wasn’t me this time.
accidents are a warning.
know thyself. on the 4th day of the week, the day of Mars the aggressor…channel your energy…consciously. for the midpoint of the week is the day of balance and harmony.
accidents or no accidents, it is a day for knowing your life purpose.
I’m on my way.
The relatives have suffered enough without you showing up
I fear the ambulances will be charged for accessing the area.
I notice the helicopter is an Italian Augusta. Would you go flying in a Fiat?
http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02452/helicopter-augusta_2452939k.jpg
No one will lose their jobs over this. We’ll make sure of that.
Lit at night – says it all – this is not a story about a red light but more likely about bad visibility ( must not rule out mechanical failure either) – if you are flying and cannot see a crane on top of a building – the visibility was below flying limits, or you were not looking where you were going. Not trying to be harsh but when flying at the limit fog can roll in – low cloud can form etc. its the pilots call. But to be fair to the pilot have to wait on the air investigation. Red light is a night light which itself requires good vis to see it.
What was the position of the boom at the time of the accident? Working offshore the booms had to be facing inwards when a helicopter was landing.
The poor bugger probably had a coronary !!
No red lights, NOTAMs or parachute can help you in a whirlybird if one of those hits the pilot!
We blame the Tories
Want to feel thoroughly sickened? Read http://www.thecommentator.com/article/2458/_muslim_patrol_vigilantes_attempt_to_control_london_streets
British men and women are being harassed on the streets by muslim men calling themselves a muslim patrol and threatening them if they’re drinking or wearing skirts.
Islam is utterly fucking evil.
They want to seal off their own area to engage in disturbing abuses of children.
Of course. This is what decades of left wing propaganda which told us to respect islam has done to the UK. Maggie would never have let this happen.
That is acceptable because it is in their culture.
I’ve just sent an email to the UAF with a link to one of the videos to ask if they have any comment to make. Of course they won’t reply, the gutless hypocritical scum.

We order you to celebrate the rich multicultural diversity the immigrant community brings to our nation.
I’m ashamed when I remember what a leftie I was at uni and went along with the leftie bollocks about respecting islam and muslims and anti Is*ael sentiment. Now I’m pro Is*ael and despise what islam has done to the UK. Better late than never, but there are still plenty of fucking retards like O**n Jones and La**ie P*nny who spread bullshit about respecting islam and poison against Is**el.
Have always been pro Isr’ael made even more after working in a number of arab countries
The fact that most muslim regimes are corrupt shits does not make Israel any better. What’s the difference between the wall around the Warsaw Ghetto and the wall being built by Israel? At least the Germans were honest about their intentions.
The wall built by the israeli gov, is less than five miles long the rest chain link fence, just a point
Also the wall did a lovely job of stopping Hamas Huntwads in their tracks from blowing up cafes and buses full of kids .
Don’t worry Dave’s solution is to support 74 million Turks joining the EU with freedom to come and live among us.
I wonder what all these Turks will make of gay marriage.
… and the ‘reforms’ proposed by the ‘Fresh Start’ tory boys would do sod all about all these fucking foreigners in Britan.
The liblabcons are all in it together.
Repatration of people who have abused our tolerance and hospitality,to

If MEN are wearing skirts in the street they can expect to be harassed!
If they’re drinking & wearing skirts they could be Scotchmen & desreve f*****g harassing.
A deep fried mars bar being dunked in the pint is a sure sign.
Scotchman????
No such thing, unless he’s half man half whiskey.

All those liberals in Parliament from the sixties to the present day should face the consequences for their naivety and their extremist, fanatical devotion to the failed ideology of MC.

not subtraction or even multiplication.
no worries though.

Despite the info for pilots it still remains a tragic accident.
Limited loss of life in a major city is something to be grateful for since I would imagine an hour later at shop and office opening times, the area would have been teaming with more pedestrians making their way into work.
A miracle far more were not killed given the circumstances and the location.
A miracle would have been if Nobody had died…maybe
Busy street.
Cars and pedestrians
Bits of crane falling.

+ 9 injured , 1 critically.
I agree the crash site was fortunate for many, but terrible for a few.
The problem is not the crane, but why was any helicopter in fog that close to any building. The crane could have saved the building, workers and market.
The pictures seem to show the crane is on the other side of the building from the river. It is also on the outside of the river bend. The jib could have spun around but it does look to point away from the river. Was anyone on the crane?
Well maybe someone will look at the issue of rogue helicopters. Especially around our way in valley and hill country. Even the Police helicopter nearly crashed when it came up the valley in thick fog and had to to a “hand brake turn” (a 180 with tail in air) to avoid the trees and houses on this hill. In fog they have the tendency to cling to the surface. It would be like ships in fog going closer to the coast and rocks!
Also is there no radar coverage over London? No one noticed a helicopter that far off track?
Got an ATPL or any aviation knowledge? No. So STFU as you are as ignorant as an MP.
AN AL QAEDA HELICOPTER JUST CRASHED INTO BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
Correction he was using Apple Maps and actually crashed into a crane in Vauxhall – Finally Apple does something right

Peter Jones at ASI talks perfect sense in his piece To spark a shale gas revolution, shift mineral rights from the Crown to landowners.
He forgets one thing. Fuel prices falling to one third of their previous price is acceptable and welcome in the USA.
It would be looked upon in horror in the UK. Much better to sweep up the excess in taxes – our PC politicians would argue. Every Lab and LibDem would say that. Some Cons would as well.
Cheap or cheaper fuel/heating costs would outrage the Green lobby in this Country, We all have to freeze to protect the Planet , I use the term We loosely, I mean all those of us who are not clocking up 30,000 air miles a year attending conferences, cutting carbon credit deals and making a boat load of cash while preaching the mantra to the little p**ple.
Dear Old Shep,
I don’t think you understand, there will be no more cold weather (climate) Global Warming will make us all warm and happy with wind farms.
What’s the point of having 300 foot high fan revolving in the middle of a grouse moor?.
How about, to tear up any off-course helicopters?
Saves having to take the Footman of the Fan on shoots. Those tweeds are hot….
“The owner of British Gas is among a number of parties involved in negotiations
with Cuadrilla’s controlling owners Riverstone Holdings”
And that is the start of killing any competition from the shale gas independents, and any chance of end user gas prices falling like they have in the US…

“Go right to the source, and ask the horse,

At least with the equine Mr Ed, as opposed to either of the two human Mr Ed’s, it is the front end of a horse you will be addressing. And I don’t know if you’d ever endorse anything the human ones would say.

We are the future. Before us the country was flat on its back. But now, we are world leaders in investigating things which have happened, particularly in the past. Soon there will be enough public enquiries for everyone in the country to be fully employed conducting them. With our long history, equal rights and efnik make up the opportunities are huge. Equally, when an enquiry doesn’t get the ‘right’ answer, we’ll hold another one until it does. So, expect fresh enquiries into South Sea Bubble, Titanic disaster etc and Cherie leading council for inquiry into Henry Viii, Watt Tyler, Lady Jane Grey, Jesus etc

So they could rush round to victims family for a photo opportunity?
You know it, baby!
Me too. I’ve already put out a “sad” statement to gain some publicity for myself from this tragic accident.
only a matter of time before shagger johnson’s reckless planning policies caused a major incident.
When I saw the headline, ‘Out of control chopper causes mayhem’, I thought it was another Jimmy Savile story.
I’ve got a horse throat this morning. Can’t think why I only had a burger and bap last night. Think I’ll go for a gallop now.
Me too but I’ve got the trots.
The good thing about Tesco’s burgers is that they can be eaten in a Sharia controlled area.
I love the smell of burning aviation fuel in the morning.
Those Tesco burgers have given me the trots.

One of the reporting points is Vauxhall Bridge, pilot may have been nattering, fiddling with the radio at the time.
