Admin Maesknoll Red Posted October 27, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Reports coming in that Leicester’s owners helicopter has crashed outside the King Power stadium. Looks pretty bad from the pictures. Beings back memories of the Chelsea co-owner Matthew Harding, who was killed coming back from a game in a helicopter crash.

Sounds like it took off, immediately started spinning out of control, fell to the ground and burst into flames. A real tragedy. This is going to be big news in the football world. Champions just a while back, and now this. Life is strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillred Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 think it's safe to say if he was in that helicopter there is no way he could have survived, hope nobody on the ground was affected though that would be a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for those onboard, there seems unlikely to be any good news.

Guest Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Sky sources saying the vice chairman and DoF weren’t on the flight. Reading between the lines then it’s probably bad news about the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when Hoddle blamed disabled people who apparently had been badly behaved in past lives; hence the reason for being disabled. Wonder if the same applies to sudden ilness?
