Thursday, January 17, 2013 4:31:29 AM Wow turns out that not only was the guy from my town, I kinda knew him a little bit, might have met him when he DJ'd at my local rock pub. I didn't know that when I posted this. Link |

Thursday, January 17, 2013 3:19:22 AM @tedgp "This isnt newsworthy at all." A helicopter crashed into a crane on a skyscraper and fell into the street in the centre of one of the largest cities in the world, killing two people and raising serious questions about the safety of air traffic over urban areas, and that isn't newsworthy to you? |

Wednesday, January 16, 2013 5:44:41 PM time to ban helicopters, they are probably more dangerous than guns right? |

Wednesday, January 16, 2013 5:18:25 PM went past this on the train this evening, about 50 yards from the wreckage which was still lying in the road. the road was screened off but full view from the elevated train tracks was a bit weird. |

Wednesday, January 16, 2013 3:29:46 PM It wasn't far from MI6 either, so they were a bit spooked (spooks being spooked, see what I di there?) And, for all the conspiracy theorists out there, the driver of the crane was late for the first time in years. Did he know something? |
