Spotted this over on SELOC, doesn't sound too good, no confirmation as to who was on board at the time:

A terrible accident no matter who was on board, and very sad
On an unrelated (or maybe not) note, did anyone else notice the helicopter over Knockhill today? It was silver and blue, very similar to the one here

Hope its not connected, but seems very coincidental.

It doesn't look so good from that.
My heart goes out to those in the accident, and of course their family and friends
