Apparently the owners helicopter crashed outside. Not sure on casualties or anything.

Hopefully nobody seriously injured

Just seen a video, hopefully whoever was in it got out before it went up in flames

Sky have changed the ticker tape message as they originally said that the owner was on board. Now changed to owners helicopter has crashed.

Guess they can't Imply things that serious without knowing for sure

Looks awful, hope everyone is okay.

Did a Leicester player break his leg too? Not a good night for em!

 

[speedie87]

Horrific

 

[lifeskyblue]

Looks really bad. Hoping the news will not be as bad as people fear.

From what I saw on Sky News not much chance of survivors in the helicopter.

Hope not too many others around when it crashed, could be a real bad one.

Did think imagine if it went into a crowd of people.

Hoping no serious injuries but it doesn't look good at all.

There will be a few knuckledraggers giving it the 'let them die, Leicester scum' shit but 99.9 percent of fans recognise that when it comes to anything like this, football rivalries are meaningless. Fingers crossed everyone is OK.

Think any normal human will see it puts football into perspective. Will just be the random WUMs.

Depressingly when Matthew Harding died I remember a few people I knew at the time saying things along those lines.

Terrible that!

Twitter is going to be full of people claiming their distress. Fair enough BUT do you know what really grinds my gears?

When people put..."From a United fan" or "...and I'm a City fan" like it's some heroic thing to overstep the football rivalry thing. Another horrific instance of a bad situation that people will flood social media in search of 'likes' and "Yes that is terrible but look at ME. Please give me attention"

Fuck off.

 

[Moff]

Absolutely horrific, I hope that everyone got out and their are no fatalities, but I fear that may not be the case.
Footballs really insignificant compared to something like this.

 

[clint van damme]

Fucks sake. Hopefully everyone ok but it's not looking good unfortunately.

Good observation

Just seen the footage and not a chance anyone walked away fron that. Regardless of whether chairman on there, it's almost certain there will be fatalities so RIP to those who have died. Sad sad times.

 

[rob9872]

I want to "like" purple bins comment but I'm not certain this platform could withstand something quite so ironic.

 

[Nick]

Apparently took off from the pitch and lost control just outside.

 

[covcity4life]

Very sad

By sports showed it in the centre circled minutes before it took off.

Pray for miracle but it looks bad

 

[Nick]

How long after full time was it?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

How long after full time was it?

45 minutes I think

 

[Nick]

45 minutes I think

Enough for most to be out of the way then. Thankfully.

I have just been reading the latest and it looks like the owner was on board

 

[covmark]

Took off around 9 they said on bbc. Around 90 minutes after the game had finished.

I have a close family member that works for Leicester, we managed to speak to him about 10 minutes after this happened, he was stood at the side of the pitch and seen the whole thing happen, one of his staff members is very lucky to be alive as he was feet away from the crash.

It's conceivable that, assuming the Malaysian owner's main residence is in London, that the helicopter was taking him and possibly West Ham's directors/staff back to London. If so it could be that people from both clubs were caught up in this.

 

[lifeskyblue]

Karen Brady tweeted that all West Ham people had already left stadium.

Brady has said all West Ham safe

 

[Nick]

I never knew match of the day was live, always thought it was recorded earlier on.

 

[lifeskyblue]
