Footage of Helicopter Crash that Killed Leicester City Owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabh
Saturday was a sad day for football. The owner of Leicester city died when his helicopter plummet to the ground shortly after take off from the stadium . Leicester City had just played their football game against West Ham United.
The foxes owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabh goes to games regularly and he always leaves by helicopter an hour after the game. The helicopter was piloted by Eric Swaffer and his partner Izabela Roza Lechowicz. The pilots are said to be hero's by steering helicopter away from fans still at the stadium. Also on the plane were 2 of Mr Srivaddhanaprabh staff.
Here is a footage of the crash taken on a phone.
Leicester were surprise premiership champions in 2016 under the guidance of the popular Thai owner. His son in photo below who is nicknamed Tops is seen greiving with England international Jamie Vardy and Danish goalkeeper Casper Schmeicel.
I found this little note very fitting
Fans paid tribute to their clubs owner outside the stadium.
The five people killed in the crash
It's a very sad day for the premiership. Leicester lit up the premiership two years ago. They came from relegation zone the year before to become a force of nature in 2016. They created history by winning one of football's greatest prizes. The English Premiership. The final day of the session Claudio Raneiri took a friend out to sing a song. His name was Andrea Bocelli and the next ten minute brought a tear to the eye of the most ardent fan. Everyone was happy for this moment and it is only fitting that I play the video one last time. Stick with it , it is worth the watch. Thanks for the memories Vichai Srivaddhanaprabh.Rest in peace.

How sad. That life can just end so unexpectedly is something that really ramps up my anxiety if I think about it. I feel for their friends and family.
We all crash sometime
Thats one way of looking at it @wales but Id rather go out in my bed with the slippers beside me than darting into the ground at 100mph.
Half a moon later, or so it seemed, the missing link fell out of the hellish sounds of a world gone crazy and after landing with a bump came over and sat down beside me and took out the makings to roll a smoke.
“And where are you from?” I asked, my mouth still full of baked spud.
“Cybernation,” she replied without looking up.
“Nice,” I said, wondering if it was.
“I’m number 5 from the engine room, and that’s all I’m going to say about it,” she said, saying no more about it.

sir blanchy...man, that's too bad, that sucks. Do they know what happened to cause the crash?
Yeah something was wrong with the back blade of the helicopter plus they say flying out of an enclosed space like a stadium is very risky

that makes sense sir blanchy, if the back blade goes then there's nothing you can do, what a tragedy.
