Thanks for posting the link P.

They are not giving much away atm, but I suspect there will be multiple fatalities.

Bound to be. The three from the helicopter for a start, may their souls rest in peace. I used to fly with the helicopter unit in Sussex years ago so that makes the sadness a little greater.
