Having looked at the video its difficult to see how anyone would have survived.


The Leicester City owner's helicopter has crashed in a car park outside the club's ground as it left the stadium following a Premier League match.

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was in the helicopter when it came down at about 20:30 BST on Saturday, a source close to the family has told the BBC.

One witness said he saw Leicester player Kasper Schmeichel run out of the stadium towards the scene of the crash.

It is not known how many other people were on board the helicopter.

Leicester had drawn 1-1 against West Ham United at the King Power Stadium, with the match finishing about one hour before the helicopter took off from the pitch.

Witnesses said they saw it just clear the stadium before it spiralled out of control, with some describing seeing a fireball as it crashed.

The club said it was assisting police and

Yes a sad tragic crash, I agree it is difficult to expect anyone to escape an explosion following a crash, the reason why the police have not issued any information is that usually, 100% identification is necessary and secondly the family/s would have to be informed first as a priority.

VMC, of course, send their thoughts and prayers to those families involved.
