Probe on into London helicopter crash

Tributes have been paid to a pilot who died when a helicopter crashed into a crane in London Wednesday. 

An investigation is now underway into how 50-year-old Captain Pete Barnes, hit the crane in South Lambeth Wednesday morning. A second person died on the ground.

Mr. Barnes had flown for a private company for 15 years and colleagues described him as "highly skilled". 

Cars and two buildings caught fire after the burning wreckage fell on the road. Five people were taken to hospital, one suffered a broken leg while the others had minor injuries.

The BBC weather centre said observations at the time showed very low but not thick fog.

David Cameron, Prime Minister, said the rules on helicopters flying over central London is something that has to be carefully looked at.
