Will nobody care for the poor helicopter?
I saw a comment on Twitter to the effect that that this must have been the first crash in history where people were praying against hope that there were no survivors.
DJ - I like that gag which has been doing the rounds -
"It was the famous Mossad agent Eli Kopter."
Sam - yes, that sentiment seems to have been widespread. The new guy doesn't look like a populist either.
