Even if the plane had to make an emergency landing in the sea this is not the time of year to be floating around awaiting rescue. Cant believe in this day and age a plane can simply vanish. I thought each air traffic control monitored every plane in its area. Tis awful to think what happened,
edit ive just read the facts and it was asking for permission to descend and shortly afterwards it went off the radar. so it was being monitored. with no mayday signal sent out or emergency signal sounds like something happened quickly to the plane.
Confusing Chillo... some reports saying he had asked for emergency landing. One engine plane turbo prop but seemingly pressurised and sophisticated piece of kit. Someone said that it cannot have been from a commercial operation as they are not allowed to fly single engine planes over water.
Sky News @SkyNews Police searching for a light aircraft missing over the English Channel, have said "a number of floating objects have been seen in the water".
Very very sad .. you can only hope they got out before it crashed no matter how unlikely that is .. but even then trying to find them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack .. heart goes out to the families
Poor fellas. I saw a segment on Sky News with a few of the fans who met him, young lads but they payed a good tribute
He’s not got international clearance yet so they might be able to cancel the deal? I seem to recall a similar case (not where someone died) where a club cancelled a transfer before international clearance was granted, or because it was refused or something.
Bit strange that he was taking( by premier league standards) such a budget form of transport. Would have expected private jets at that end of the game. Goes without saying I hope him and the pilot are ok. Seems unlikely unfortunately
This is truly awful, I hope by some miracle they are found in an inflatable dingy, but it doesn't look promising.
The WhatsApp message from Sala.... "I am really tired now. I was over in Nantes sorting things out, doing this, doing that," he says in the message. "I am now aboard a plane that seems like it is falling to pieces. I'm going to Cardiff now, crazy, and tomorrow we get going. I will train with my new team tomorrow." He added: "If you do not have any more news from in an hour and a half, I don't know if they need to send someone to find me. I am getting scared!" Bless you...!!!
Who sent the plane for him....!!!!!?... or did he charter it himself...?... if the latter, id have said '**** that for a game of soldiers."... in fact, if you felt like that, would you get on it...?
