Witnesses reported seeing a “massive ball of flames” and a deafening "explosion" after the helicopter plunged more than 700 feet to the ground amid suggestions that the warning lights were obscured by fog.
The crash happened above the site of the 51-storey Vauxhall Tower just before
8am, shearing off the jib of the aircraft before it spiralled on to Nine
Elms Lane.
This footage, provided by Mark Osborn of , shows how wreckage from the
helicopter was strewn across the busy streets nearby.
Authorities confirmed the two victims, the
pilot, Captain Pete Barnes and a bystander, died at the scene while
at least 13 casualties, were reported suffering minor injuries.
