A light plane with new Premier League footballer Emiliano Sala on board has disappeared in the English Channel while travelling from France to Wales.
The 28-year-old Argentine was on his way to meet his new colleagues at Cardiff City after signing for the club last week in a £15 million deal. He was travelling back to Wales from Nantes in Brittany after signing with the Welsh club. There were "genuine concerns" for his safety today after the Piper Malibu plane registration PA 46 went off radar screens close to the Channel Islands. |

Lets hope for good news about everyone on board.
Its one of the busiest shipping lane's in the world I'm sure there will be something to report before too long. |

If there was anything good to report, it would have happened now for the reasons you've given.

What is the latest news?
Has the plane been found? |
|
By:
1TP is a vile snide of the highest order. It's awful news for football and his beloved obviously.
|
|
By:
as opposed to posters worrying about whether they got him insured in time
|
|
By:
Anyone any thoughts on why not found as yet? Not the biggest expanse of water, would a light aircraft break up and effectively sink on impact thus making it difficult?
|
|
By:
bits of debris found on surface by all accounts,search called off for the day
|

Robbo, I used to fish in them waters, serious riptides and eddys, enough to spin a boat around and face it in the other direction.two big currents meet there and the sea seems to be nasty all the time. Couldn't of really gone done in a worse place in my opinion.

Get French Football News
Get French Football News @GFFN · 6m Emiliano Sala’s ex-team-mate Diego Rolán to Radio 1010 AM: “Emiliano sent a message to a friend during the flight & told him that he was scared. That if they never spoke again, he would know what happened.” Poor lad. |

Top shot - what is an eddy?
|
|
By:
An eddy is a current, as of water or air, moving in a direction that is different from that of the main current. Eddies generally involve circular motion; unstable patterns of eddies are often called turbulence .

. Emiliano Sala complained about a plane that looked like it was "about to fall apart" in a chilling final message before his disappearance. The Cardiff City striker, signed for a club record £15million fee from Nantes, is feared dead after his plane went missing whilst travelling to the Welsh capital. Guernsey Police have confirmed they have called off the search for the night and said the chances of survival for Sala or the pilot are "unfortunately slim". Argentinian media outlet Ole have now released haunting verified audio sent from Sala to close friends on WhatsApp in the final moments before the plane vanished over the English Channel. Sala says: “Hello, little brothers, how are you crazy people? "Brother, I’m dead, I was here in Nantes doing things, things, things, things and things, and it never stops, it never stops, it never stops. "I’m here on a plane that looks like it’s about to fall apart, and I’m going to Cardiff, crazy, tomorrow we already start, and in the afternoon we start training, boys, in my new team… "Let’s see what happens, so, how are you brothers and sisters, all right? "If in an hour and a half you have no news from me, I don’t know if they are going to send someone to look for me because they cannot find me, but you know … Dad, how scared am I!” Reports suggest Sala had expressed concern about the flight having travelled from Cardiff back to France in the same plane over the weekend. He texted friends once on board to say the plane was making "weird noises" before the plane was reported as missing at around 8:30pm on Monday night. The light aircraft had been flying at 5000ft but requested to land while passing Guernsey, with the a single-engine plane last detected at 2300 feet when they lost contact with Jersey air traffic controllers. Cardiff City cancelled training on Tuesday, which was due to be Sala's first day with his new team-mates, in the wake of the tragic incident. |

apparently the plane he was travelling in was 35 years old, think anything over 15 years in aviation is considered old, 35 years is living well into borrowed time.

If you get decent wages sometimes the best bet is put your hand in your pocket and fly first to Heathrow.
