Sky now speculating that maybe crane swayed into path of helicopter - where do they get these guys?!
Are you telling me you've never seen a walking talking tower crane? You see them in children's cartoons all the time and that's where they're getting these guys from!

But can I ask you, if you were a control tower officer on duty with light traffic and you had a helicopter coming into your heliport in bad weather and if you didn't have much else to do because of low traffic levels, would you remind the pilot of the obstruction?
If it was me personally yes I would. Anything - and I mean anything - to assist the pilot.
