Am I supposed to know what the fuck this is, lad? Bit of context, please.

If I have to google to decipher your thread, you're doing it spectacularly wrong.

It's the main headline for most media outlets.

The private helicopter for the owners of Leicester city crashed and blew up almost immediately after take off following their game with West Ham. The explosion was audible on TV, through the studio glass.

I try and avoid FB on the weekends, so I've just been watching Castlevania and shitposting.

That is utter madness, though. Who are the owners of Leicester exactly?

Does this mean we're not a top-flight club anymore?

Fuck off. This doesn't remotely resemble that scene, this isn't Les Bains which was actually funny (in a morbid sort of way). Think of something original.

>Who are the owners of Leicester exactly?

They're a Thai family. Nigel Pearson was infamously sacked as manager shortly after a club tour of Thailand where his son and a couple of other youth players recorded themselves fucking and racially abusing prostitutes over there.

Srivaddhanaprabha Snr. was the only family member aboard the helicopter, it's not clear yet if there were other passengers, and he's worth about £4bn as they also own a duty free empire.

The manager, Claude Puel, might have been on board too.

Why is it being kept so up in the air as to whether or not the owner was on board? I assume there's a good reason. Is it just still too on fire to check?

The police don't name victims until they have been officially identified and their families have been properly informed. If you crash in a fully-fuelled helicopter, you'll probably be identifiable only by DNA or dental records.

Seems strange to have a mechanical failure like that so soon after take-off. I wonder if it hit something. An awful business.

This. Whenever you see a story saying someone was "named locally" that means someone other than the police coughed up. No official details, but unofficial sources claiming that the owner was on board with around four others.

>>8728
Current speculation is that the tail rotor might have packed in, which is pretty much game over.

They've confirmed the death of the chairman and all four other people on board.

One of his personal assistants on the helicopter was a former Miss Thailand. She could spin my tail rotor, IYKWIM.

This is a weird reaction. It's sad people have died, but the owner wasn't some kind of paragon of virtue, he just owned a football club, the news is covering it like we all ought to be wearing black and holding vigils.

Mods are way too sensitive these days. May as well delete all boards but emo. It really doesn't much matter if the attempt at humour succeeds, because you can't have good humour without occasional fails.

You got banned for spouting shitty, dead, 4chan memes, dummy. Is this even a real post? You must have been here for all of fifteen minutes to not understand this.

I could call Vichai Whatever-the-heck a phlegm stain and Leicester a an overgrown council estate and not get banned. Please don't ban me for claiming immunity from being banned, please. Sorry, soz, sorry.

Did I get banned too? I cited the incident where a KOMO news helicopter took off from its rooftop landing pad in Seattle in 2014 and instantly nosedived, and it lead to a Fox affiliate news station accidentally showing a cock photo on air, which gave the story way more coverage. I added a link to the Str8UpGayPorn blog story about it, hit post, and went to look at another website.

When I came back here my post was nowhere to be seen so I don't know if I triggered some sort of spam filter or something.

Rich football club owners are in the main a bunch of cunts. Look at Abramovitch, Ashley, Tan, Oyston, etc. This guy was apparently very different. He was an all-round nice guy by all accounts. He genuinely cared for the club and everyone involved, which is why staff, players and fans have been singing his praises.
