A Scottish helicopter crashed in to a Glasgow pub this weekend with out sending out a distress call before the crash. The helicopter didn't have a flight data recorder, said David Miller,deputy chief inspector of the Air Accident Investigation Branch.
The wreckage of the helicopter was lifted off the pub Monday. Authorities in Scotland found nine victims at the site.
The pub was packed with about 150 people listening to a band Friday night when the crash occurred. Eleven of the 32 people hurt remain in the hospital across Glasgow on Sunday, and the body of another victim was found late Sunday morning. The remains of the latest victim has not yet been identified.
An ambulance, escorted by police, later left the scene. Firefighters, ambulance staff, and police officers formed a guard of honor as the vehicle passed.
Many people could have been injured if the helicopter were to explode, and would have hit some of the near by shops and people walking along the streets of Glasgow. Luckily that happen anyone nearby didn't get hurt.
