More than 30 other people were injured with 14 listed in serious condition. Authorities add that at least two people believed to be inside the pub at the time of the crash are still unaccounted for.
Investigators still don’t what caused the copter crash that killed two police officers and a civilian pilot and five people inside The Clutha.
Witnesses said the helicopter fell out of the sky like a stone, embedding itself in the roof of the popular Glasgow pub, which had about 120 people inside at the time of accident.
In spite of the chaos, people who were able to crawl out of the wreckage formed human chains with passers-by to carry the wounded to safety.
Hours after the crash, British Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted, “My thoughts are with everyone affected by the helicopter crash in Glasgow – and the emergency services working tonight.”
