Coroner says urgent action needed on helicopter rules after Leicester City crash
Urgent action must be taken to address concerns about helicopter rules after a crash which killed five people near Leicester City's stadium, a coroner said. The football club's former owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, referred to as Khun Vichai, was killed with the helicopter's pilot Eric Swaffer, his partner and co-pilot Izabela Lechowicz, and passengers Nusara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare. A prevention of future deaths report was sent to the European Union Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) after an inquest, warning of concerns about gaps in safety rules which risks more helicopter crashes. Coroner Professor Catherine Mason expressed concerns that current aviation rules may not adequately prevent crucial parts from wearing out prematurely, which can cause failures leading to crashes. Part makers may not receive all the detailed flight and system test data from manufacturers, so they cannot fully check if they are safe, the coroner wrote. Prof Mason said concerns were raised about the lack of clear rules on how long some important helicopter parts should last and how they should be inspected, especially for aircraft already in use. The coroner wrote of worries that helicopter makers are not currently required by regulations to thoroughly check critical parts after removal from service, which could help catch problems early. Prof Mason highlighted concerns raised during the inquest about the lack of clear rules for calculating stresses on key helicopter parts and the need for better standards to ensure ongoing safety. Her report pointed to 'failure modes analysis at a system level'. The coroner wrote: 'In my opinion, action should be taken to prevent future deaths, and I believe that each of EASA and the CAA have power to take such action.' On October 27 2018, after a match between Leicester City and West Ham, the Leonardo AW169 helicopter spun out of control after it took off from the pitch. The helicopter began to spin when Mr Swaffer tried to do a right-hand turn over the stadium to take Khun Vichai and the other passengers to Stansted Airport, an inquest jury previously heard. An Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) report found that the helicopter began uncontrollably spinning when a bearing in the tail rotor 'seized' after its lubrication broke down, jurors were told. The aircraft landed on its left-hand side on a 0.5m concrete step, causing a fuel leak which ignited and 'rapidly' engulfed the helicopter in flames. The jury of 11 people, who heard evidence over two weeks, concluded that the deaths were accidental. Four of the five victims, including Khun Vichai, died due to smoke inhalation and it was likely they would have survived their injuries if the fire had not started, it was heard. The cause of Ms Lechowicz's death was given as 'significant' head and chest injuries, and she would have died 'extremely quickly' after the helicopter crashed into the ground.

Eaton County feeling the impact of failed public safety millage
EATON COUNTY, Mich. (WLNS) – Officials in Eaton County say they're feeling the impacts of the failed public safety millage that appeared last November, and again at the beginning of May. The millage failed in May with almost 57% of voters rejecting the proposal. Sheriff Tom Reich tells 6 News this has caused a lack of road patrol, more staff resignations—and only one officer working for animal control. Eaton County, Delta Township reach tentative deal on police services That single officer is mostly responsible for maintaining the building, caring for animals, and completing paperwork. With the shelter at full capacity and Animal Control without officers to send out, Sheriff Reich says the community will need to rely on local police departments for their needs. The sheriff also says he's sad to see so many great deputies moving to other departments due to a lack of stability and support. Eaton County officials discuss major budget cuts While officials understand that community members may not want a tax increase, they say they'll pay the price in other ways. 'Public safety is what they're gonna give up,' said Sheriff Reich. 'Sure, Michigan State Police is going to be out there taking calls. However, you've got to keep in mind there's only so many troopers out there at Post 11, and they have three different counties to worry about.' Plans for another attempt at the Public Safety Millage are up in the air at the moment, but Sheriff Reich says there's a possibility of trying again in 2026. 'Taxes, no one likes taxes. I don't like taxes either. I think public safety would be worth it,' said Sheriff Reich. 'This is the first time Eaton County has ever had this kind of a problem of having no road patrol, and it's a first for me.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Mason man renovates memorial for murdered 7-year-old boy
WILLIAMSTON, Mich. (WLNS) — Almost 20 years after the tragic murder of 7-year-old Ricky Holland, a Mason man has now renovated the young boy's memorial with the hope of keeping his memory alive. Ricky Holland's memorial sits on the side of the road, near the intersection of Williamston Rd. and Ewers Rd, now with a fresh new coat of paint and flowers. Holland went missing back in July of 2005. After months of searching, his body was finally found in the Dansville State Game Area. His adoptive parents, Lisa and Tom Holland, were arrested for the murder and sentenced to prison. Michigan native, Kyle Ammerman, says while driving home, he spotted the old cross, and wanted to help. 'It's an honor for me to do it. I was an EMS. You see a lot of tragedies in the area. I'm doing this out of love for the families and for the people who have passed away,' said Kyle Ammerman. He says the memorial was severely damaged. 'It was just a plain white cross. It had a lot of damage to it. The cross piece was all rotted,' said Ammerman. 'So, I decided to put a new cross piece in, paint it up.' Ammerman says he was in Mason when he first heard about the case. 'I was watching the news. Followed it on a daily basis,' said Ammerman. 'A lot of volunteers searched for this little boy. Parents, anybody that was available.' He says he even remembered the day Holland's body was found. 'That dreadful day. That will never go away,' said Ammerman. So, he does all he can to make sure no one forgets about seven-year-old Ricky Holland. 'It's sad that there are people out there that would do this to an innocent child, and finally be found guilty of what they did,' said Holland. 'But it still doesn't erase the memory of Ricky the seven years that he lived.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
