It looks stunning (not sure of the appropriate word, mind), as if you're actually there just looking at them.

They just played Nessun dorma on radio 5 fighting talk and I burst into tears ?

[Janice]

Good luck today guys, it will be a hard one for you all, my thoughts are with you all, but I’m sure the team will do Vichai and the supporters proud xx

What camera are you using? They are brilliant photos. 

Thank you. They were just on my phone (Huawei P20 Pro).

Amazing photos. Feel like the time of day really captures the mood. Gutted I won't be able to get to Leicester until next weekend

I hope they keep it until then, but with it blocking the exits I can’t see it, you can walk around the back, but it’s wether hs will let it stay with that many people there

We dont know if the guy who made the video sent it to the sun.

 

There is other people who probably had access to the recording.

"Before Saturday’s game with Burnley the vast tribute will have to be moved. The flowers will go to the stadium’s southeast corner, near the crash site, where a permanent memorial to Vichai is likely. The plan is to store the shirts and make them a feature or artwork at the redeveloped ground."

I went to the ground yesterday around 2pm and it was beautiful. So many people there and the atmosphere was perfect. A wonderful quiet murmer whilst people viewed the memorial. I ended up leaving just after KO of the Cardiff game, one guy had his portable radio on leaning on a barrier. 

 

What a city. What a club

Going down with my daughter later this morning.

Really proud of my club and all fans this week.

I havent seen a portable radio since I smashed one up when we went 1-0 down at home to Colchester when we got relegated

Been pretty solid all week until my 3 year old just asked me if Leicester had a crash and are our friends ok?

I can't get this out my head at all. Prey to god that it was instant and some of the stories aren't true about them trying to get out

Kasper looks deeply traumatised by the whole thing. Apparently he had to be restrained from going to help and was supposed to be onboard. Possibly hearsay but I hope he gets the right help.

The helicopter forum folks, the link to which is back up the thread, suggested the chopper came down so fast that it is very unlikely any were conscious after the impact. Not everyone on that forum is an expert (and I'm certainly not), but after the on pitch footage came out, it seemed the consensus was it was a very hard landing.

 

They could be wrong, of course, but I prefer to think not.

I know a couple of people in the emergency services who attended and I asked them this, they said the same, that from what they saw they don't think they survived, or were conscious.

The helicopter was going straight to Luton airport so I suppose he could have been off to Denmark and being given a few days off with the cup game in midweek.

It doesn't bear thinking about. 

 

The uncertainty of not knowing who was on board on the night of the crash was torture.

Kasper has said in a recent interview that he was on the pitch waving them off and seen the whole incident happen

various press outlets this morning - evidently he saw the helicopter dropping to the ground and this would explain why he was on the scene of the inferno so quickly ……….
