I don't know if any of those names are familiar to Leicester fans/others on here.
RIP

Such a sad time in football.

Damn, the worst of news as was sadly expected.
Absolute tragidy. Thoughts with everyone affected by this 
According to what I've just seen, Eric and Izabela are the two crew members.
RIP.
Really tragic, terrible accident and thoughts with all those suffering right now.
RIP
Awful
Really terrible. Just shows you how fragile life is, here one minute and gone the next. Will be very difficult for the families to come to terms with.
RIP to an inspiring owner
Support United but live in Leicester. He had brought joy to a city that has been unimaginable, and nothing will come close to it.
Very sad and tragic. RIP
Very sad and tragic. RIP

Devastating news. RIP to a hero.
That’s an interesting threory. I’m going to rewind BT’s live coverage from yesterday to see if I notice anything odd about the landing or taking off as they usually show it live
Here’s the new big screen:
So sad RIP
He brought an impossible, unfathomable dream to reality. An incredible legacy. RIP to all 5. Terribly sad.
Description fits, it could be the Izabela that was on board:

RIP to everyone who lost their life.
Horrible tragedy. RIP.
Truly depressing. RIP to all of them. As for the Owner he'll be sadly missed. He's left a lasting legacy to the city that won't be forgotten.
there is one at each end and was the previous match tooThat’s an interesting threory. I’m going to rewind BT’s live coverage from yesterday to see if I notice anything odd about the landing or taking off as they usually show it live

Absolute tragedy. What are you supposed to post that has any impact on how bad this is? Its fecking heartbreaking.
It doesn't make sense though. Helicoptors are forever landing and taking off from non symmetrical areas?That’s an interesting threory. I’m going to rewind BT’s live coverage from yesterday to see if I notice anything odd about the landing or taking off as they usually show it live
Here’s the new big screen:
The players' reactions to the news seems very sincere. Sounds like a lot of them had a pretty close relationship with him.
Not really for me to say, but speculating on this kind of stuff & then writing about it doesn't look great imo.
There's no good gonna result from it anyway is there?
Terrible news. RIP and condolences to all those affected, he seemed like a really inspiring man.
OK then,
weather
pilot error
mechanical failure
or a combination of 2 or all of them, unlikely to be just the weather
not going to be anything else
but it still won't take us anywhere good to speculate
(probably NOT the new screen) imo

At a time like this other things don't really matter but I find it even more saddening that the majority of the UK media including BBC and Sky are reporting that Izabela was simply a passenger, likely because she was a woman.
That helicopter requires a crew of 2 and she was in fact a co-pilot and partner of Eric Swaffer.
More on her: https://london.mfa.gov.pl/en/news/polka100/izabela_lechowicz/ for anyone interested.
My thoughts are all with the families afected and the city of Leicester. May all the deceased rest in peace.

It's more than sad. I wondered for a minute there if part of the silence and the persistent mention of "one unidentified passenger" was the Chairman having a mistress.
They should clarify that, absolutely.
There was a random mention of drones yesterday. Witnesses mention the tail propeller (?) stopped working so that's a more plausible angle than the giant screen.
Everyone seemed to be impressed with how quickly the police were onto it, which they would if their own drones crashed into a helicopter.
Yes female co-pilot.

Also Eric Swaffer:

They were not novices. R.I.P.

And quite keen to keep it quiet I would have thought.
(OK, let's go for it, what does anyone else think?)
Surely the police were there quickly due to it being a football match so there were already on site rather than having to be called? There was some disorder between Leicester and West Ham fans after the game apparently so adrenaline was already running high.
