' Two dead' after helicopter crash
The crash happened on the outskirts of Lanark
Two people are believed to have died after a helicopter crashed in Lanarkshire.
The Squirrel aircraft came down in Jervis Wood near Lanark just after 1600 BST and was understood to have burst into flames.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said it had been led to believe two people were on board.
However, Strathclyde Police said the helicopter damage was so bad they could not confirm how many were involved.
A police statement said: " Around 1610 BST on Saturday, 15 September 2007, emergency services were called to a helicopter crash in Jerviswood, east of the A73 at Lanark.
" There are no survivors.
" It is not known how many people were on board at this time and there will be no formal identification of anyone on board this evening."
The damage has been so bad that we don' t know how many people were on board
Strathclyde Police spokeswoman
The statement added that the air accident investigation team was on its way to Scotland to establish the cause of the crash.
The Scottish Ambulance Service confirmed that its own helicopter had been despatched to the scene along with three ambulance crews.
Strathclyde Fire and Rescue Service also has units in attendance at the scene.
The RAF spokesman said the incident did not involve a military aircraft and added that its helicopter was on stand-by to assist.
A spokesman for the British Airports Authority said the helicopter did not come from Glasgow or Edinburgh Airports.
The Strathclyde Police spokeswoman said officers were trying to establish who was on board and where the helicopter was travelling to and from.
" The damage has been so bad that we don' t know how many people were on board," she said.
" It might be one, it might be more. We just don' t know at the moment."
Sori unohdin laittaa lähteen. Ja olin äsken poissa vähän aikaa, niin en huomannut kyselyjänne.
Siellä se on news. sky. com etusivulla.
Jutuissa painotetaan, että ei todellakaan tiedetä keitä ollut kopterissa. Kaksi ihmistä tiettävästi kuollut. Kopteri on pahasti palanut, tunnistaminen on erittäin vaikeaa. Siksi poliisi ei osaa sanoa keitä on tai ei ole ollut kyydissä.

sanota, että tapahtui lähellä maatilaa, jossa McRae asuu.
Ja alkuperäisessä uutisissa myös sanottiin, että ei tiedetä montako ihmistä on ollut kopterissa.

Toivottavasti ei, vaikka surullistahan se tietysti on että joku ylipäätään on kuollut. Olen vain aina pitänyt McRaesta, ruttuimagosta.
