Re: Leicester City owner's helicopter crashes in fireball after match
Such a horrific incident.
Doesn't look like anyone survived. So sad.

Re: Leicester City owner's helicopter crashes in fireball after match
If lives have been lost which seems very likely it might be taking them a while to inform the next of kin before they release any names on board as they will also need the next of kin to identify the body before confirmation of the death.

Due to the fire that might not be possible. So another reason for it taking longer.

The Leicester City owner's helicopter has crashed in a car park outside the club's ground as it left the stadium following a Premier League match.
Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was in the helicopter when it came down at about 20:30 BST on Saturday, a source close to the family has told the BBC.

Terrible. Personally would never get in a helicopter, there seem to be a few accidents. One pilot, one engine, you only need one to go wrong.

Matthew Harding springs to mind sadly  and Frankie Dettori was very lucky to get away with his life.

Re: Leicester City owner's helicopter crashes in fireball after match
Have seen on Twitter people saying that the owner, his daughter and Claude Puel (manager of Leicester) were on board at the time of the crash. Such a tragic loss of life.

From what l can ascertain Mark Claude Puel was not on board the helicopter.

Claude Puel just spoke to the media.

Re: Leicester City owner's helicopter crashes in fireball after match
Going by reports its sounds like a catastrophic engine/gearboc failure.

Re: Leicester City owner's helicopter crashes in fireball after match
French TV are the first to report the death of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. There's now conflicting reports on whether his daughter was on board. Sky reporting earlier that this was the case but now there's sources she wasn't.
So with the above in mind and given the tragedy of this, can't these outlets just wait rather than post speculation?
Media in Asia are actually putting out Gareth Southgate as being on board with little to no basis for such claims.
