Helicopter crash involving Leicester City owners

Sorry, however justified I feel my comments about Roan are, I should, first and more importantly, have expressed my deepest condolences to the Leicester City ‘family’ for their heartbreaking loss. Having lived for 12 years in the city, I still have a number of good friends and acquaintances there, several of whom are staunch fans. A very sad day indeed for the club and all associated with it.

Very sad. Shows once again how fragile life is and how it can end in the blink of an eye.

I tell my wife and kids I love them every day and each time we say goodbye.

Yeah. A neighbour from many years ago was with her husband for 40 plus years. The one time they rowed and didn’t say that they loved each other, Alan had a heart attack and died. She hit the bottle after and died not long after. I knew them from age of 5.
You’re right TH. tell them. Every night. Every morning.

Deary deary me, is this Dan Roan of the BBC?

2.43 in this video, reporters from various stations gossiping, seemingly unaware that they're being filmed...

"As opposed to the mistress who died in the crash, otherwise known as 'member of staff', i.e. mistress. Family man (chuckles) Great family man."

Utterly unprofessional behaviour...

Edit: videos been removed. I wonder why...

Even ignoring what he's actually said, that's really not the time or place to be having a laugh and a joke with your colleagues. What an insensitive prick.

Yup, I don't want their last abiding memory to be one of turmoil that we never got to say goodbye.

Every morning the kids drive off to school I still stand outside and wave them off around the corner, they always turn one last time!

Neighbours must think I'm a bit mad or clingy but my family are my world and a tragedy such as this demonstrates it doesn't matter how many billions someone might have in the bank, you might not get another chance to tell someone you love them.

You’re a good man, mate. Me and the missus don’t half have some petty rows. The knowledge of love is there, but you’re right. Imagine never being able to say it again?
Not for the first time, a cracking lost by you that.

That's a heartbreaking story right there.

My mum's sister died in April this year, married for 62 years.

Her husband couldn't even attend the funeral because he suffered badly with dementia for the last 12 months and had been in hospital that week after falling out of his bed and broken a rib

Kept asking his son where his mum was, only so many times you can tell him she had gone.

He died last month. 62 years and that's how they both checked out.

Cheers mate, appreciate that.

Crazy what people will waste time arguing the toss over.

Me and my wife made it a condition when we got together, never go to bed on an argument and always tell our kids never to be self-conscious about telling someone they love them.

Clearly I meant cracking post, not lost.
I’m going to make that pact right tonight with my woman.
I have a lad if 19 and a daughter of 16. Single dad. They’re great and have been taught never to hide their affection.
I wish you all the best.

I do the same with my missus. It was something she demanded at the outset and although it took me a while to adapt I would not change it now.

Too much time wasted with the inconsequential stuff, and were all guilty of it. Sadly it often takes events like this wkend to help focus on the important things in life.

Of course I do, and I agree with the point you are making.

But facts is facts!
