On 29 November 2013, a police helicopter operated by Bond Air Services for Police Scotland crashed into The Clutha, a pub in central Glasgow, killing all three crew on board and seven patrons of the pub. Thirty-one more people in the pub were injured.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][excessive citations]
The subsequent investigation concluded that the cause of the crash was fuel starvation due to incorrect operation of the fuel system.[9]
