London, UK / New Delhi, India —
An atmosphere of mourning has gripped the sports world after reports surfaced that a former Buffalo Bills star, aged 61, is believed to have been among the victims of a devastating international flight crash en route from London Gatwick to New Delhi. The tragic accident, which occurred early Tuesday morning, has so far claimed over 180 lives, with rescue efforts still underway.
The ill-fated flight, operated by JetSky International, reportedly lost contact with air traffic control moments before a catastrophic descent near northern India’s Himachal region. Eyewitnesses describe a “fireball streaking through the sky” followed by an explosion that shook nearby villages.
Unconfirmed sources within the NFL community have identified the 61-year-old as a former Pro Bowl player and iconic figure from the Buffalo Bills’ early 90s roster. Though officials have not released a full passenger manifest, family members of the athlete say they had last spoken with him shortly before he boarded the flight in London.
“We’re just praying for a miracle,” said a close relative, visibly shaken during an emotional press briefing. “He was headed to India for a charity initiative close to his heart.”
The Buffalo Bills organization released a brief statement expressing their “deep concern and heartfelt support” for the family during this difficult time. Fans have begun gathering outside Highmark Stadium, leaving flowers, jerseys, and handwritten notes in a growing memorial.
Indian authorities, along with international aviation experts, have launched an investigation into the crash, citing extreme weather and possible mechanical failure as early leads.
This developing tragedy has sent shockwaves not only through the NFL community but across continents, as tributes pour in for all those affected.
More updates will follow as identification efforts continue.
