Yes, he was shown on TV, and an earlier poster said he arrived at the game in the copter.

100% Gareth Southgate was at the match as pictured at photo 26.

 

Hmmm.

Gareth Southgate rumour is gaining traction in the UK

 

Should be easy enough for him to dispel the rumour if he wasn't on board...just show himself.

 

If he was, that is just more misery for the global football community.

Southgate's last tweet was in 2014. Not a regular tweeter!

 

Just read some well respected UK sport correspondent has said Southgate was not in the chopper.

I did say the England twitter account, but not to worry.

That's the problem.  There's no sighting or statement, which is strange for someone who was at the game.

Please do not post "breaking" news etc unless you have a link to a reputable source. Otherwise its just "gossip" and will be removed.

 

Thank you.

Would be shocking news if a drone caused the accident , but a well maintained helicopter does not fall to the ground that easy without a reason.

Without a reason? How about a failure of its many moving parts

Compare that to a fixed wing aircraft and you can visualize how much harder a chopper has to work

“We appreciate that both the public and media were keen to be updated on the circumstances and to confirm if those on board the helicopter had survived, but before any detail could be issued publicly, it was vital that all immediate next of kin were informed of the tragic outcome. As our communities will understand, this was a matter that needed to be handled sensitively and with dignity, with the families of the deceased being at the heart of our response, which involved other agencies.

No secret, no conspiracy, no market manipulation, just respect for nearest and dearest.

There seems to be some confusion over the status of Izabela Lechowiz. Several reports list her as a passenger but according to a statement from the Polish Embassy and an article in the Sun, she was a pilot who worked together with Eric Swaffer (the pilot named in all the reports). Virtually all previous reports said there was a pilot and co-pilot and she was a qualified helicopter pilot who regularly worked with Swaffer (they ran the business together) so it's not clear why she would be travelling as only a passenger.
