Aircraft firm denies liability for fatal helicopter crash
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Aircraft manufacturer Leonardo has denied responsibility for the helicopter crash that killed Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, stating its AW169 model is safe. The family of Thai businessman Srivaddhanaprabha, who founded duty-free retailer King Power, are suing Leonardo for up to 2.15 billion ($2.89 billion) at London's High Court over the crash. Best known as the owner of the club which defied odds of 5,000/1 to win the Premier League in 2016, Srivaddhanaprabha's helicopter crashed shortly after taking off outside Leicester City's King Power stadium, before bursting into flames on 27 October, 2018. An inquest jury concluded in January that the deaths of Srivaddhanaprabha, two members of his staff, pilot Eric Swaffer and Swaffer's partner Izabela Roza Lechowicz were accidental."
The Independent sends reporters to cover issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent investigates topics including the financials of Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and emphasizes parsing facts from messaging. The organisation keeps reporting free of paywalls and requests donations so it can continue sending journalists to report from the ground and present both sides of stories. Leonardo denies responsibility for the 27 October 2018 helicopter crash that killed Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. The family is suing Leonardo for up to £2.15bn at London's High Court, while an inquest jury concluded the deaths were accidental.
