Ally Bongo Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Surprised no thread already It's looking grim I know twitter can wrongly speculate on these things but i suppose it doesnt help when the MSM and authorities wont release details of any fatalities over 5 hours after the event when clearly there has been Have seen Spanish press reporting that manager Puel, pilot, Leicester owner, wife and daughter all deceased.

Jersey Jim Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Too early to speculate the cause, but some witnesses report seeing a drone flying over the stadium prior to the helicopter departing the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Horrible stuff. Confirmed that the owner was on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottincarlisle Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 This bit was on MSN Foxes owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha is among those feared dead after the helicopter came down in the stadium car park minutes after take off on Saturday evening. There has been no official confirmation of who was on board the six-seater aircraft or any word on casualties or fatalities. It is believed the crash was caused by a problem with the tail fin.

Ta Ta Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 It is a real shame. The owners have been great, not just for the club but the city too. I live locally and went down to the stadium this afternoon. Really sad. No evidence but there’s a lot of speculation locally that it hit a drone. The police have said that they weren’t using a drone at the time which isn’t the same as ‘it wasn’t hit by a drone’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 such a shame, but also lucky nobody else was hurt, it landed in a staff car park so could have been much worse. He brought so much to that club and gave everyone involved that absolutley amazing league winning season which will never be forgotten. A sad sad day. Helicopters scare the life out of me though, seems to be so much can go wrong so easily and there isnt really a chance to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
