Anyone know about the credibility of the story circulating now that Ritchie McCaw was killed in a helicopter crash in Ireland?
I don't see anything in the main stream media about it, but a South African website said it happened and I also received a Whatsapp video about it, but it seems to be fake, although I am not sure.
The only article I see is this one, but I can't say it's legit, and it states "allegedly"

Based on a quick Google search, it's not credible. The only website carrying this "news" is avcom and they require you to register before you can read the actual article. I didn' t bother because the article is already 17 hours old and if it was legit the whole rugby world would know about it by now.

Sounds like bullshit . . . at least I hope so!

Apparently, his helicopter parked on the wrong side of the landing area.

As stated by Rooinek, it took a few seconds to fact-check as BS.
