Police helicopter crashes onto Glasgow pub
I am sure all our thoughts are with all he families bereaved by this tragic accident.
I know the area quite well but only from ground. If the aircraft was in transit eastwards it is likely that they would have been over the Clyde. The proximity of highish structures immediately in land would suggest to me that he crossroads at bridgeton/ Clyde street was perhaps the emergency aiming point if this was a controlled autorotation. Options are limited and control may have been compromised. Whatever the circumstances I am certain the pilot had due regard both for his passengers and anyone on the ground.
