'I have no idea what's going on...last words of the Leicester City helicopter crash pilot

Pilot Eric Swaffer, 53, had said, "I've no idea what's going on" just seconds before it hit the ground outside the club's King Power Stadium on October 27, 2018, it was said.

Leicester chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, employees Nusara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare plus Mr Swaffer and his partner, Izabela Roza Lechowicz - also a pilot - were all killed in the accident.

The crash happened shortly after the helicopter took off from the pitch.

Catastrophic

A report by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch has now shed light on the final moments on board.
