Expert Opinion
Having worked with families affected by the Clutha helicopter tragedy and a large outbreak of legionnaires’ disease in Edinburgh in recent years we hope that the Crown Office will conduct their review of the crash as quickly as possible and ensure that the public is not kept in the dark about how this awful crash could happen. <br/> <br/>“So many lives were changed forever that day and the families of those involved deserve to know the truth. It is important that there is continued support for all those affected by the crash by way of appropriate counselling services. The impact a trauma like this crash has on people cannot be underestimated."
