over and over: watch the destruction of the roof PLUS the destruction of the airframe. add it up. result: too many g's
some thoughts about distress calls. Thomson 757 was taking off on a busy airport, an early call to ask for priority and keep other traffic on hold and away from the scenario and following procedures seems sensible. Also, 2 qualified pilots on board to share workload, one can concentrate just to fly the a/c. Completely different situation with the airspace 500ft abv Glasgow City Center. Some other thoughts. I think there are some concerning aspects that the police is asking for more witness statements, inclusive possible private video footage, regarding the whereabouts of their helicopter before it crashed. Perhaps they already know a little bit more. They will tell when it's time to tell.
