Some alarming news for KING POWER owned Leicester City Football Club.

 

"A helicopter owned by Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has burst into flames after it crashed outside the King Power stadium this evening. Fans and players were shell-shocked and some broke down in tears as flames were visible from the stadium concourse. It is unclear how many people were on board the aircraft at the time of the crash. Eyewitness said that the helicopter took off as normal from the centre circle and was hovering over the south east corner of the ground before spluttering and spiraling to ground, near Filbert Way and bursting into flames. Mr Srivaddhanaprabha's helicopter and his entourage leaving the King Power by helicopter has become a familar sight as he frequently takes off from the centre circle of Leicester's ground. Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha is believed to be the only family member who attended the 1-1 draw on Saturday night."
