Seems unlikely anyone got out as it fell into the car park and blew up
it'd have to fly in from wherever and lands on pitch and picks the guy up so there's no warning of anything for pilot and he I presume picked up the guy and then crashes so........
Reports say only actual owner of family due to be at match .... either way ... there's at least the poor sod pilot
Sky Sports News reporter Rob Dorsett is at the King Power Stadium. He's just a few hundred yards away from the flames.
He reports: “At about 8:30 this evening, eye witnesses told me they saw the Leicester City owners helicopter take off from the pitch inside the King Power stadium – as it does after every game – and after a few seconds it appeared to lose control. It sounds like there was a fault with the rear tail propeller, which meant it was sent spinning out of control and crashed in the car park at the rear of the King Power Stadium, just a few hundred metres away from where the pitch is.”
I think we can all assume if the chairman of Leicester hasn't communicated that the worst has occurred.
tragic. hope nobody else was caught up below this.

That and the fact he leaves after every home game via helicopter... yep, sad times.
Let's not forget the pilot too btw

Fact is was so close after the game hope there weren’t any fans or general public too close that are affected either.
Horrible stuff, hope no one was killed but would be a miracle if they weren’t.

I'd normally make the usual piss take post here considering the timing but it didn't seem right so merely pointing you to my comment above.
Eight seems a lot for passengers so I would say passers by got caught up too

Guess wait to see what officially is announced. Someone on Leicester board put tweet up that says owner, sporting director and one other on board.
When did this happen
Right after their game. we've only been talking about it for 2 hours....
It's really bad.
