Helicopter

[Sue]

There's a helicopter hovering over the Crystal Palace Road area (now moved elsewhere).

Has something happened?

Try some Morse Code with a laser stick and see if you get a response x

Just another mugging, stabbing, shooting incident I guess? ...wouldn't be a bad guess, would it?

The only morse code I know is SOS, which would probably make things worse 😂

Well, that was the sort of thing I was concerned about, yes, but I was hoping that someone would know something specific, rather than taking a guess, as the helicopter was hovering quite close to my house!

Could be a drugs bust? another guess though!

I don't know if this is related or a separate incident

That's terrible, but I wouldn't have thought a helicopter would be involved.

The post doesn't say if the driver stopped after hitting the girl, but surely they must have done?

Just seen an update and the driver stopped so the helicopter wasn't looking for that car.

Just went to look, and the discussion had apparently been closed 12 minutes ago, don't know if for legal reasons, or if it had got nasty,  or for some other reason.

Hope the person hit will be ok, and I guess I will never know about the helicopter.
