    Things look horrendous. Hope all are ok but doubt it. Live on Sky sports now. It apparently crashed on the car park at the stadium.

    Sounds like it came from a height. Spiralled to the ground. Wasn’t immediately after take off.

    Lucky it came down where it did, it’s a densely populated area with big student flat blocks and a hospital right next door. Should never be allowed to fly a helicopter in and out of there for leisure.

    Doesn't look like they've got much chance :emoticon-0120-doh:

    Prying they're okay though.

    No chance of survival of anyone in the aircraft or in the vicinity I’m afraid ☹️

    Bloody hell, not a good day with that and Hoddle’s episode (presumably heart or stroke). The Leicester owner seemed like one of the better owners out there, with free drinks and pies on special days.

    Terrible news and handled sensitively by the Match of the Day team at the start of the programme. Just a shame that there are some low life scum making stupid comments about it on Twitter.

    Just woke up to see this tragedy, I check out here with the Thailand news and as yet still no news who was on board. Can't help feeling if they were not on board they would have already said, so doesn't sound good.

    It's been confirmed by the BBC that Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was indeed on board.

    RIP to all who have lost their lives in this terrible incident..

    That is tragic, the fact that it came down in the car park it must be a miracle no one on the ground was killed?
