    Terrible news. Gary Lineker is understandably devastated on MOTD

    SKY SOURCES: Leicester vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and director of football Jon Rudkin were not on the helicopter at the time of the crash.
    Yeah, I just seen the same.

    Someone was though......

    The Skysports website still saying - "It is not clear whether the club's Thai billionaire owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was on-board his helicopter at the time, but he was at the game which had finished 45 minutes earlier."

    BBC just quoting sky as saying John Rudkin wasn't on the helicopter

    Respect to mr Lineker for even coming on live tv at this moment considering his connections to Leicester. Don't think I could do it to be honest.

    Well remember the Harding incident as he also had Dylanologist John Bauldie on board who also died. Horrific. RIP.

    Rip.

    A real loss, as that title win of theirs made me feel the kind of childlike excitement the modern game has mostly driven from my aging soul. Thoughts with all those affected.

    Isn't that the owner's son? Suggests to me through what they haven't said that the owner was on board. Hope I've read it completely wrong.

    Owner always takes the helicopter as far as I knew. It will be a stroke of incredible luck for him if today was the one time that he didn’t.

    Oh Nadou that’s awful. My heart goes out to you.

    My thoughts are with all at Leicester xx

    No way anyone could survive that. Terrible news.

    It's been a long time since the accident, surely if the owner was not on board they would have confirmed that. No reason no to.

    BBC news speculating that the manager might have been onboard too. Only BBC reporting this at the moment but whoever was on board, this is truly horrendous.

    Where have you seen this? Not like the BBC to speculate.

    BBC are saying eye witnesses saw Kasper Schmeichel ran towards the crash site after seeing what happened. Can’t imagine the state of shock at seeing that so what a man.

    On twitter - clip of anchor saying it. Not seen other mentions so hopefully just one off report on rumours / hearsay. As I said, its a tragedy whoever is unvolved.

    Deleted for now simply because we cannot know for sure how recent that video is.

    Here is video of the owner and others whom I can't identify, boarding the helicopter before the crash.

    That looks like the manager with them.

    Watching BBC news on tv now - not twitter - saying no confirmation of who was on board so everything just speculation until we hear from the club.

    I think I am going to "nope" out of this thread for tonight and wait for the official story. Not comfortable with the speculation and that video to be honest. No offence guys.
