Has vodka coke become a real drink?  In my day it was what idiots ordered.

I remember my parents drinking rum and coke back in the day in the 1980s.  Not that different.

Rum mixes well with coke.

So who were they in contact with after the crash?

Probably with those who needed a little help with not surviving the crash.

I thought 5th place was champions league nowadays.

The extra spot depends on the success of a league's teams in Europe. Bundesliga got that extra CL place for next season, not the English, because the English teams all blew it in their respective competitions.

Whilst normally a helicopter crash in mountainous terrain in fog would have a low chance of a good outcome, supposedly it was more of a "hard landing", and two people on the helicopter (not the President) made contact with authorities shortly after the crash. But seems like they are having logistical difficulties getting to the spot where the crash occurred.

They have reached the crash site. But, them not immediately trumpeting the president's survival makes me think he didn't make it.
