Glasgow Helicopter Crash: Fury At Delays

The son of a man thought to still be inside the Glasgow pub hit by a helicopter has said he is "enraged" at a lack of information.

John McGarrigle has been waiting since Friday for news of his father, also called John, who was inside the Clutha pub when the police helicopter crashed into it.

He told Sky News: "I'm extremely angry my dad is lying in there.

"I was told last night that (the building) would not be getting touched (and that) no bodies were being taken out.

"At three in the morning, I saw a body being taken out on the news.

"I am enraged. I was supposed to get a phone call to tell me exactly what was happening. I've not had that phone call.

The wreckage of the helicopter has been lifted clear of the Clutha pub

"What about the dignity for the human beings underneath that police helicopter? If they've got one out, they can get the rest out."

Mark O'Prey was last seen in the Clutha bar on Friday night by a friend who went outside for a cigarette moments before the tragedy.

His worried family told Sky News they are frustrated at the inability to get information about their loved one.

Hi father Ian said he dropped the phone when his daughter Louise told him the news that his son had been inside the bar.

"I could not believe it because I'd been watching it all night on television from when it happened," he said.

"Here we are two days later and he's still inside.

Ian O'Prey says he is desperate for information on his missing son Mark

"I would hope he would do the same for me if I was lying in that pub. I'd like some answers, not (to be) fobbed off."

David Goodhew, of Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, said firefighters had been tunnelling through wreckage inside the building to try and reach people left inside.

He said crews had been unable to search the whole of the building because of how unstable parts of it were, adding that the operation would be completed once the helicopter wreckage had been removed.

"The building has been totally devastated. It is unrecognisable in most parts inside," he said.

"There is a large amount of debris underneath the helicopter.

"We have got to dig slowly. The building is in such an unstable condition.

"You can imagine underneath the helicopter, the sea of devastation.

"We have been unable to dig into the last areas of the building because of the amount of debris and rubble in those areas."

Ann Faulds said she thought people had been blown into rooms below the pub

Sisters Ann Faulds and Nancy Primrose were both treated in hospital after being injured in the crash.

Ms Primrose had 12 stitches in the back of her head after being blown off her feet by the impact.

She told Sky News: "There were no flames, there were no sparks and there was no warning, just an almighty thud.

"I thought it was a bomb. I honestly thought a bomb had gone off in the pub. It's been a horrendous scene."

Her sister, who was trapped inside, described feeling "immense pain and heat".

"The whole place had come down around us so there was no immediate way for us to get out," she said.

"I thought it was a bomb. There are rooms underneath the Clutha bar (and) I was thinking, 'Have people been blown into the rooms below?'"

The survivors' stories came as a crane lifted the wreckage of the helicopter out of the pub.

Police earlier revealed nine people had been killed in the accident and identified a fifth victim as Samuel McGhee, 56, from Glasgow.

The other named victims include PC Kirsty Nelis, 36, PC Tony Collins, 43, civilian pilot David Traill, 51, and Gary Arthur, 48, from Paisley.

Authorities warned that more bodies could be recovered from the wreckage.
