McRae's Helicopter crashes.
A helicopter registered to Colin McRae has crashed near his home. It is thought two have died (one is confirmed), although the number of people onboard is unknown.

This is absolutely terrible and I fear the absolute worst.

RIP to those who have lost their lives.

I fear the worst

Quote:
At least one person was feared dead after the aircraft came down near Lanark this afternoon.
'This afternoon' was like 6 hours ago here in the UK. Surely the whereabouts of Colin in these instant comms days would by now have been established?.

They're not going to formally identify the victims until tomorrow morning

I'm hoping and praying Colin wasn't on board but it's a tragedy all the same

I really am fearing the worst, because if he wasn't onboard, he most likely would have released a statement or something.

Not necessarily. He has a brother and father, not to mention other family members and friends. Two people have been killed. It doesn't make it better or worse who they are, imo.

I sincerely hope that Colin isn't involved but RIP to whoever has died in this tragedy; their lives were no less talented or important.
