Thankfully, the crane operator was slightly held up and wasn't in the crane when the helicopter hit.
And thank goodness the tower itself didn't get hit!

It's starting to get silly the amount of towers being planned, approved and constructed in London. They are everywhere. I mean a 40 storey residential tower doesn't even get a whoop anymore. Feel for us Brummies where a 14 storey tower gets a "whoop whoop"

Really?? London is going to be displaced by Istanbul?? London is growing upwards at a significant rate.

Another scheme in London has been given the all clear to progress too. 198m, 147m & 95m

Here is a map I did for Istanbul, it only contains 100+ m buildings. I suggest you only look at purple (recently finished), green (U/C), yellow (Prep), red (approved) and ignore the blue (proposed) ones.

Is there a similar map for London?

That's a great map.

Unfortunately i'm not a Londoner and I wouldn't have the time to compile something like that for the city.
