The free market will ensure that major trauma victims have an open choice of which hospital to be taken to, all of whom will be providing treatment far more cost-effectively due to the magic pixie-dust of competition. Via an iPhone app (not available on Android) patients that have had a helicopter land on them will be able to quickly and easily access realtime information on A&E waiting times, mortality rates, and (due to a partnership with TomTom) the probable journey time in the ambulance and their chances of surviving it. Should the likelihood of survival be less than 50% they'll be presented with a link to "lastwords.com" so they can upload a final video for friends and family, which will be paid for by embedded adverts for undertakers and funeral directors.

Still might be some trapped, it seems.

Absolutely - made me think of the Lewisham Hospital situation and Jeremy C**t.
& what corax said.
I really hope there are no fatalities in the Glasgow incident and no life-changing injuries - must have been scary as fuck in there.
Fortunately, special effects people have to work hard to get those fireballs you're used to from the moving pictures.
It could have, and empty tanks would be more likely to go "whoomp" than full. Lucky it didn't.

Some locals may have a slight chuckle at this.
Nothing sinister, i promise you, just the bold.

Awful
Just watching BBC news now and as Jim Murphey MP was talking you could see a group of lads in the background giggling and trying to get their faces on the camera like it was a big laugh, a stones throw away from where people appear to still be trapped in the pub. What is wrong with these muppets.
and now they have a ''former RAF technician'' with his ''theory'' on why the helicopter crashed even though he is no where near the scene.
The mind boggles.

They will likely have lists of "common faults" for different make/model along with any previous accident history. Normally that's their angle.
Doesn't mean he's correct or wrong but he sure fills up air time on rolling news.
Just saying, like.
His analysis was ''It seems they ran out of height'' No shit Sherlock.
It was all a bit like a man trying to explain the various faults that can occur on a boiler whilst talking to someone over the phone who's boiler has stopped working. Lots of information, none very useful.

Apparently the Mail Online is being as sensationalist as usual.

Makes sense now, sounds like it was worth watching for his crucial indepth expertise and analysis.
Might try and watch one of the ,no doubt six or seven, times it'll be re-run before i hit the pillow.
''It was bedlam; there was a almighty explosion and then a huge fireball'' Mail Online
WTF. All the news reports/eye witnesses say that the strange thing was that there was no explosion or a fireball.
Do they not even check the tele before writing this bullshit?

Mail reporting 3 feared dead, 9 being treated at Infirmary for serious injuries. Police have stated that there are 'confirmed deaths' but would not say how many.
A sad night for the city.

STV were saying quite some time ago that there were 3 dead, but at the time the police hadn't confirmed.

So many particulars. So many questions.
they'll be saying people were robbing the pockets of the dead... seriuosly wait till the dust has settled and someone from the gutter end will find a way to blame the gig goers.

Laser pointers.
There were three in the 'copter, yes? Pilot and two cops? Police memorial fund says its thoughts are with the families?
They'll be waiting until the families have been formally notified. If they're watching the news, they already know...

Civilian pilot plus two officers.

Didn't see it, but 1st thought is whether they actually knew why the cameras were there, what was going on?I was watching that. Couldn't believe their behaviour
Even if so it's not exactly surprising. The world has become hugely desensitised to suffering and trauma, from my PoV at least. Empathy has become a lost art for some. Eg - the recent decision by FB (over 13's only!) to allow videos of people being beheaded. I'm not 'blaming' FB btw - citing as symptom not cause.
