People allowed back home after Helicopter crash
Hundreds of people were allowed back to their homes in St George's Wharf Tower last night, after the authorities said the area was safe following yesterday's helicopter crash.
The damaged crane on the side of the tower is not at risk of collapse, and work to remove it will begin on the weekend. Some road closures in the area remain in place.
Family wish crash victim was late for work
The man killed on the ground in the helicopter crash shouldn't really have been there. His family told ITV News London that Matthew Wood from Sutton was only walking through the Vauxhall area when the helicopter came down yesterday, because he liked to get to work early.
But a crane driver probably survived because he overslept. Ronke Phillips spoke to Matthew Wood's sister.
