Premier league player’s plane missing

Search for footballer's plane resumes

Cardiff City striker’s plane missing. Looks like it was just him and the pilot on board. Was on his way to meet the team he’d just signed with and flight went missing over the English Channel. It’s likely the 28-year-old is dead, as us the pilot.

Can’t imagine the emotional swing for the family. Just signed what had to be a dream contract and now they’ve lost their son.

Truly a terrible story.

I don't think it's your phone. I tried posting the link twice from my computer, and it didn't work. I copied and pasted the URL, and just a big BBC logo showed up.

Saw that Watford just posted condolences on Twitter to Cardiff and the families of both Sala and the pilot, so I assume the news isn't good. :(

If they have not been found alive by now ...

Plane has been found with at least one body recovered

Body recovered from plane carrying Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson

Edit: Looks like they could only recover one body before weather grounded operations. They may not recover the other(s).

Threadjack: Damn, the King's English is so prettier than our version. Case in point:

"The body is currently being taken to Portland to be passed into the care of the Dorset Coroner."

"The remains got dropped off with the county coroner" -- most any U.S. rag.
