The "Leicester City" team is still struggling to recover after the helicopter of the club's owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha crashed on October 27th, lifting off from the stadium.
The helicopter, which crashed into the car park next to the stadium during the accident, carried V. Srivaddhanaprabha himself and four other people. All of them tragically died.
After more than a month of investigations, it was revealed that the cause of the helicopter crash was technical. The connection between the pedals of the helicopter and the rear rotor was missing. As a result, the pilots could no longer control the helicopter.
From the video footage, it was visible that both pilots lost control of the helicopter as soon as it took off from the stadium. The helicopter became uncontrollable, started spinning in circles, and ultimately crashed to the ground.
In Leicester, after the tragic death of V. Srivaddhanaprabha, mourning was declared. Thousands of people came to the stadium to lay flowers and light candles.
