Leicester City owner amongst 5 killed in helicopter crash at King Power stadium

[geordiedean]

Do helicopters have a black box?

 

I presume they do and I gather that will be able to give information as to what happened?

 

I never really knew about him before this, from what I have read he was a great person. Amazing what he achieved with Leicester.

 

Id imagine so as the helicopter that crashed into the Clutha pub in Glasgow had a data recorder, a voice recorder is not required in a private aircraft of less than 20 seats I think (commercial aircraft its mandatory)

Like any aircraft accident in the UK, Air Accidents Investigation Branch are investigating. They'll take the helicopter away, take it apart and examine the parts to discover what went wrong.

Really struggled to even think what to post about this today. I seriously can’t comprehend what Leicester city fc are going to be feeling following this awful tragedy. Just doesn’t seem real. Heartbroken for everybody involved.

 

I do wonder why the news is so slow to come out regarding victims/survivors. It could have been so so much worse. If the pilot managed to avoid all of the housing deliberately he’s an absolute hero.

 

You figure they would rank among the most well-liked, probably loved club owners as well. I'd love any owners that had us winning the PL. Not that it matters much but yeh.

Was reading he’s donated a considerable amount to local hospitals, medical school at Leicester Uni and other local causes too. Big loss for their city if the worst is confirmed.

That's a great tribute, RIP. It's amazing to find an owner that didn't just dare to dream but wanted to bring all the fans with him too.

[wormy]

I wasn't aware of just how much he seemed to have done for Leicester as a city as well as the club.

 

RIP to all.

Wish I'd known he was looking to buy a football club and make them champions, when I was serving him his lunch, every other Saturday.

Oh man. Serious condolences for having known him.

I'm only a small voice but I've shed tears tonight. I can't imagine what Leicester fans are going through right now. My thoughts are with them all.
