Scottish pubs look like a serious sausagefest

Don't think a pansy like you would last very long.

Hope all are ok. Went uni in Glasgow, so hope all are ok

luckily there was no fire. things could have been a lot worse.

that's a very old building. fire would have ripped through so quickly

Helicopter would most likely be the Eurocopter EC135T2+, widely used by police forces.

You seem very proud that pansies don't 'last long' in your country's pubs

. Small country, small minds.

hearing rumors that there's problems all over the fleet.

This is the third EC135 Strathclyde Police have lost, or at least crashed, isn't it?

SKY News itching to report deaths :rolleyes:

Hopefully a bit early for Christmas parties.

Should've had an engineer with a repair tool

There's a thread in reddit.com/r/scotland where they're got a few more photos.

Made me giggle!

I always assumed that place was rougher than a badgers ass, one of those pubs you'd just never venture into.

Still, not nice to think of a helicopter crashing through a roof! Hope the pilots are okay and no one was seriously injured/killed.

Of course Salmond is using this as an excuse to spread his FUD.

He had a lucky escape. I had a similar lucky escape in 1999, I stood on top of the World Trade Centre. To think two years later it was gone.

It can't be that bad.

It has windows.
