Update on the Leicester City Helicopter Crash
The five victims of the Leicester City helicopter crash have been named including its billionaire owner, his assistant, a Thai beauty queen turned PA and the hero pilot and his girlfriend co-pilot who potentially saved hundreds of lives by crashing away from crowds on the ground.
The Premier League club's biggest stars and football fans from all over country have expressed their grief as it was confirmed none of the five on board survived when the aircraft fell from the sky outside the King Power Stadium at about 8.30pm on Saturday night.
Leicester City Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, 60, who bought the club for £39 million in 2010 and led it to a first Premier League title in 2016, was described as a 'great man' of 'kindness' and 'generosity'.
Beauty queen Nursara Suknamai, his assistant Kaveporn Punpare and also pilot Eric Swaffer, who previously flew members of the Royal Family, and his girlfriend and co-pilot Izabela Roza Lechowicz all perished alongside him.
Mr Swaffer is believed to have saved the lives of hundreds of fans by steering the doomed aircraft away from vulnerable fans on the ground.

I had an 'interesting' time in Belfast some years back when I was sent to the Visteon (Ford) plant at West Belfast. It's not far from the Falls Road and the first thing the people there wanted to know was what religion I was. I didn't answer the question, but I did a fairly good impression of a Northern Irish accent when I ordered a drink in the bar in the evening. I didn't want to get caught in the crossfire of Catholic versus Protestant.
I went on a business trip with some colleagues to Belgium (Leuven) and as we arrived back in Brussels Centraal to catch the Eurostar on the return trip, we saw burning Police bikes, helicopters, water cannons and riots. Frightening stuff.
There was a country-wide union strike that day and in the train terminal they were letting off thunderflashes and marching up and down with flags. Needless to say, we managed to blag our way onto an earlier Eurostar as the staff weren't happy about the situation and there was a line of Gendarmes outside Eurostar check-in.
Interesting times.

"Wir Schaffe Das!" "We can do this!"
Yep, you did that, no doubt at all. You fucked up your country big time. 'Mutti' Merkel is history.
That should have read 'Schaffen'. Typo.
Does anyone remember the billboard with Angela Merkel's head shopped onto the Wonderbra "Hello Boys" advert?
It was expert trolling. Can't find it at the moment and maybe not the best thing to search for at work.
Burn becomes 'Brennen' in German. Too close to 'Brennan' for any good to come of it.
Coinkydink?
>and it’s just gonna be a lot of heavy lifting.
It's called standing up and you can't even do that without a back brace.
Leased plane.

CMIG is registered in Ireland. I smell spoopyness of the 2-reg plane variety. Shell companies and money laundering.
I doubt that he could fill a phone booth these days.
Possibly down to a poor maintenance history of their aircraft.
You see them in movies. Usually with a sniper nearby.
Does Anon mean Voyager, rather than Gemini?
You totally need a phone booth if you are into serious time travel, dude.
They are disappearing over here. Shame…
"Gentlemen, we're history…"
Please use the original U2, not that scumbag. They took their name from the plane in the first place.
I want to open a phone booth factory now. I can weld and fabricate, does anyone else want in?
Maybe the truth has been in plain sight all along.
Phone booths are the link to time travel.
Whoh….
We could be on to something with this phone booth thing.
I want one now.
I gave up earlier, it was too unstable.
"E.T. phone home.."
I forgot about Maxwell Smart - good call!
