Lees hier het artikel op helispot.nl over dit tragische ongeval. De drie opeenvolgende eigenaars van hetzelfde wijnkasteel sterven in een luchtvaartcrash..

Volgens de laatste informatie zijn drie van de vier slachtoffers nog steeds niet gevonden in de Dordogne stroom.

According to http://www.wine-searcher.com/m/2014/01/ ... o-accident
the helicoptercrash was not an accident?!
By AFP with Wine-Searcher staff | Posted Friday, 10-Jan-2014

Three victims still missing as speculation surrounds cause of crash.

A group of agricultural activists have claimed responsibility for the death of a Bordeaux winemaker and a Chinese billionaire in a helicopter crash in December.

In a typed letter which appeared in print in the French daily newspaper Midi Libre on Thursday, the Agricultural Action Committee claimed that James Gregoire, who sold Château de la Rivière to Chinese businessman Lam Kok, “paid with his life for selling the vineyard to a foreign buyer exactly 10 days after we had warned him not to.”
