If we are flying, please just assume it is for a VERY good reason. Just when you thought youโd heard it all โฆโฆ ๐"You've called a life and death emergency line to say a helicopter has woken you up." This call to 999 was about the noise being generated by a police helicopter. They were searching for a missing women who was later found with serious injuries to her arms. #ThinkBeforeYouDial
