Administrator Stan Posted October 27, 2018 Administrator Posted October 27, 2018 Just seeing pictures of it. Looks bad. Praying no one was hurt but doesn't look good at all.
Administrator Stan Posted October 27, 2018 Author Administrator Posted October 27, 2018 I feel sick just waiting for news, regardless of if our owners were on it or not. Bound to be friends/family of the owners if not just the pilot. Apparently the owners' son, Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha, was not at the game but his dad, Vichai, was. Sometimes the owners leave via helicopter so not sure what to think right now.
Smiley Culture Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 My word, that looks horrific. Hope all are safe and those who witnessed it aren’t too badly effected by it.
Administrator Stan Posted October 27, 2018 Author Administrator Posted October 27, 2018 Think it's due to be confirmed that Vichai was on board the helicopter .
Fairy In Boots Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Heard a rumour him & his daughter. Horrible because I can’t see anyone surviving that
Smiley Culture Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 No official news yet. Which I wouldn’t take either way, that’s not good nor bad. But from what I’ve seen, it’s going to be a bigger miracle than Leicester winning the Premier League if anyone survives that.
Smiley Culture Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Some verified fella on Twitter, who’s been quoted on the BBC, saying the chairman was onboard.

Yeah Ben Jacobs. Works for ESPN I think. Still speculation but I'm guessing before any news is officially broken, they're contacting family who are in Thailand, where it's middle of the night.
Honey Honey Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 I think the owner and those on board are dead or they would have said otherwise by now. This pace driving looks like a mark of respect for the dead and not an emergency situation.
Administrator Stan Posted October 27, 2018 Author Administrator Posted October 27, 2018 Some fans saying they saw a drone nearby after walking out of the stadium which could have collided with the helicopter. The drone reportedly a police one - may be linked to fan trouble after the game between some West Ham fans and Leicester fans (there was some trouble inside the ground near the final whistle).
Berserker Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 R.I.P, hard thing surviving a chopper failure given that because the altitude sometimes is not so high it would be kinda difficult to use a parachute and at least till now that's the only thing that could save you.

If that’s true, hell will be one. But I’d expect nothing less from the degenerates who support that club in Stratford.
Fairy In Boots Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Looks like the owner & his daughter plus 3 others including the pilot are being reported dead by Italian & Spanish press according to Twitter. Some cunts updated his Wikipedia to say he’s dead to. RIP

If someone's been flying one and caused damage to the helicopter then there will be a serious kickback from this. How old is his daughter? What a waste of a life if young. 36 I think. All of Vichai's children are involved with King Power the business. I'm still trying to get my head around this happening. Still in shock I think
Guest Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 What a shit day for football. First hoddle now this
Subscriber Dan+ Posted October 28, 2018 Subscriber Posted October 28, 2018 Absolute disaster. What a sad sad day.

British Press will wait for an official statement to announce it which will be tomorrow morning, there’s a process where next of kin need to be informed etc. Global press don’t have to worry about that I’d imagine and can print off a well confirmed source. I’m no press expert though
Administrator Stan Posted October 28, 2018 Author Administrator Posted October 28, 2018 Barely slept while waiting for some news/confirmation and get a text from my neighbour who said his mate was the pilot and his mates girlfriend was on the helicopter last night , and he's not heard anything since 8pm last night.
DeadLinesman Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Australian TV reporting them dead apparently. Pictures on twitter but won’t load for me on here as per.
Carnivore Chris Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Awful day. It just shows how precious life is and how sudden someone can lose their life.
