My missus was less than a third of the way through the railway tunnel when the crash happened, having walked past the place were it came down about 20 seconds before. She said she heard the helicopter flying low and thought, why's it so low and the then it she heard the crash and the backdraft of heat whoosh through the tunnel and then a car in flames whizzing passed her. She immediately called 999 and when they answered and asked 'what service do you require' she said 'Everything' She called me at about 8.30 and as you'd expect she was really shaken up, telling me the detailed story of what happened She said ' Bloody hell, I nearly died' to which I replied 'Well, you didn't, what time are you home and what's for tea'.Obviously I was trying to lighten the mood... and remembering I'd bought some lemon sole from Marks yesterday.
