Local glasgow radio claiming 4 people dead... I hate this - so much speculation and its just horrible . *edit* four seems very unlikely so hopefully just crappy reporting lol
Just hope that Mcrae was't on board but even if he wasn't the people who were on board RIP and if Mcrae was on board, RIP Mcrae, I have a horible feeling that they are going to say that McRae was on board the heli, just hoping they don't, They have to check the helicopter over before they even start it up and get off the ground, so it is weird why is burst into flames, well it can happen pitty it has had to happen to Mcrae's heli or even of happened to Mcrae.
Nooo! I hope he's not dead 
. McRae's been one of my favourite drivers since I was young .

Too bad that he died. He wanted to drive the WRC in 2008. I think the Rally scene lost a big part
Rest In Peace Colin

But then again it is wiki, i'm getting third-hand info from someone close-by...
"Info I have from the scene is that 2 adults and 2 children wer on board. He was piloting. Its beleived to be his 2 children other adult is unknown for now!"

Well I'm watching Sky news right now, and so far the only info coming from them is that there will be no formal identification tonight.
I really hope this isn't the case, but then it would mean someone else had died, sad news whatever the case.

his 2 children? OMG.... RIP McRae's
We just have to wait to either later tonight or tomorrow morning until the facts come out on what happened and if Mcrae was on board.

Jean-Eric Freudiger, McRae's agent, last night told The Sunday Telegraph he had spoken to the driver's brother and that he had confirmed the former champion had been piloting the Squirrel aircraft.
Speaking from his home in Switzerland, Mr Freudiger said he was still in shock and fighting back tears as he said he could not reach Mr McRae's wife, Alison

It's not true until it's on the BBC.
rip mcrae
It only says feared dead, May not be true, hopefully it is not, I have a feeling though that he was on board because it would be a bit weird with the helicopter being so closed to his house and it's his heli, so I think it may come out that he was piloting the helicopter.
I have a horrible feeling that he was in the chopper.
Its all just pointing that way. I really hope he wasn't.
I'm tuned into Sky News, so I will post when I get an update as I'm sure everyone else will to.

I really can't beleive this is happening, so many great people are losing their lives in freak accidents like this.
Colin McRae was one of my alltime faveroutes in motorsport and if the reports are true then RIP whoever was onboard that helicopter, you wil be dearly missed.
I'm doing the same, We are loosing a lot of people to quickly, We have lost Richard Burns, I just hope with haven't lost colin aswell.

THE former rally driving champion Colin McRae was killed and his five year-old son feared dead in a helicopter crash yesterday afternoon.
Untill I see it on the BBC site or Sky News, I wont be believe it.

It seems that all the reports on the news paper sites are putting dates down of 16th september when it is only still the 15th so in a way they are not telling the truth.
They're stories for tomorrows papers, dude.
I know but why put that in why they are saying that they will not know until tomorrow if he was onboard thats what it is saying on sky news
Sam.
Hope its not true but cant help but be certain he was in the helicopter, 2 rally icons die within the space of about 2 years
RIP colin and family.
RIP colin and family.
