My Favourite Quote this week/month

[Celyn]

From the co-owner of the pub in Glasgow into which a police helicopter crashed on Friday evening:

He [Saverio Petri], got down on his hands and knees, checking for survivors along the perimeter of the pub. “I was concerned that people had been injured and wanted to make sure,” he said. “I don’t want to sound flippant, but I have a 350-page health and safety manual in the pub, and it doesn’t give me a contingency for the roof being hit by a helicopter.”

Glasgow unites to support helicopter crash families

Well no, I daresay it does somewhat fail in that respect.

Hell, I know it is not a laughing matter, but it’s rather a nice line. Of all the bad stuff that only just might ever happen, a police helicopter crashing into the bloody roof, destroying the place and killing people is somehow not the first thing one thinks of. :eek:

Now that’s what I call a documentation-conscious guy… “the pub’s gone down and damnit, we hadn’t documented this process!”
