The Gobierno helicopter just flew by; somebody must be lost

[Marion]

They've not gone round again yet

[Janet]

The Coastguard is saying "behind the hotel Los Gigantes" ... surely they mean the Barceló??

nothing from 112 yet.

[Michael]

Three police cars and an ambulance all with sirens and lights have just gone up in the direction towards the Barcelo Santiago.

I wondered what all that racket was! 

[Marion]

There is another helicopter now.

The Coastguard is saying "behind the hotel Los Gigantes" ... surely they mean the Barceló??

nothing from 112 yet.

Isn't that the one in the main street in Los Gigantes?

Another very low flying helicopter just away over.

[Janet]

Isn't that the one in the main street in Los Gigantes?

That's what I thought!

[Michael]

Sod this. Off out for a nosy.

[Myrtle Hogan-Lance]

Continuing Marion's and my double act, it is the yellow gobierno helicopter, and it is not on the coast or sea yet, but toodling around the area.

Oh hell, is now on the coastline and everybody in the building is looking out to sea at it.

Not the Barceló.  There's another one, the other side of the harbour, north.

Lots of sirens again.

[Marion]

Ambulance and a police car heading up the hill with lights and sirens. Think helicopter has just headed off.
