helicopter crashed into the roof of a pub in central Glasgow,
Chief Constable Stephen House of Police Scotland said
Saturday.
Three of the dead were the crew of the helicopter, House
said, while the remaining five were people found in the
building.
Fourteen people remain seriously injured in Glasgow
hospitals, House said. Earlier, police said 32 in total were
taken to local hospitals.
The helicopter crashed into the pub as it was packed with
Friday night customers. The search for survivors continued
overnight into Saturday.
House said the rescue and recovery operation was "very
sensitive" and would continue for many days yet.
"You can imagine the terror of the situation when a
helicopter came through the top of the building -- there
were well over 100 people (there)," he said, as he praised
those who helped pull the injured from the rubble.
