Absolutely horrible and sad news this.
Really hope he and everyone else that boarded that flight are found safely and well.

Fearing the worst.
My son asked a question with general 12 year old innocence. What happens to the transfer in the worst possible situation (which could well be the case).
Pales into significance but I told my son I wasn’t sure

Flying at night over sea in the middle of winter in a single engine plane sounds very risky to me.

Cristiano Ronaldo getting it tight for putting selfies up of himself on a plane today.

Money doesn’t matter in situations like this I suppose.

(EA have now limited his price range to the lowest possible to stop this)

Breaking | L’Équipe have now seen the final text message that Emiliano Sala sent to his closest Argentine friends (possibly a group chat of some kind). In it, Sala says he is scared the plane “could fall to pieces” & that “if you don’t hear from me in 1.5 hours...”
That is horrific to hear 😢
I’d absolutely love to be proven wrong but the reports that are coming out of this just make me think it really is the worst piece of news we didn’t want to hear about this terrible incident. People have survived plane crashes before but being stuck in freezing water like the English Channel just doesn’t give you a glimmer of hope 😔

Apparently the plane was owned by Willie McKay, who acted as an intermediary in the deal.

But if he’s nervous about it youd think he would have taken up the cardiff private jet offer
Likely he had no idea what he would be flying in when someone made this deal

Anything below 20,000ft could be a very bumpy ride. Under 5000ft could be horrendous.
Sounds like the props weren't making the right sounds though.

Altitude doesnt always influence turbulence
Have you heard audio from the flight?
Note - this plane had 1 prop not props

12 years ago I flew from the north to the south of Tonga in a small two engined propeller plane. There couldn’t have been more than ten passengers. I was actually weighed in the wee airport so I could be placed strategically in the cabin. The pilot warned us that ‘we were going to hit some weather but conditions were ‘fine’. It was the hairiest half hour I’ve spent in a plane.

French club Nantes have demanded payment from Cardiff City over the £15m transfer of Emiliano Sala, BBC Wales has learned.
Sala, along with pilot David Ibbotson, was on board the Piper Malibu N264DB which lost radar contact near Guernsey on 21 January.
The Argentine striker, 28, was Premier League club Cardiff's record signing.
Cardiff have withheld the first scheduled payment until they are satisfied with the documentation.
French club Bourdeaux are also entitled to a cut of the fee, thought to be 50% - Sala was on their books from 2012 to 2015 before joining Nantes.
and now down to the nitty gritty of money payments

Its very different on wee planes, they "feel" the weather a lot more. Having said that, I never really felt in any danger, the pilot was totally cool and had been doing it for years.
This was a single engined, 8 berth job.

Beautiful area isnt it
Its strange because im not overly enamoured as a passenger on a big jet
When flying in a 2 seater at the controls the weather and turbulence bother me less
Saying that had a dodgy approach last week with low level clouds
Terrifies me the thought of flying into cloud

i'm wondering if Cardiff actually had any type of insurance, i would have expected a club statement saying 'it's in the hands of our insurers'

You’d Cardiff would have insurance. The ambiguity is over whether it applied

This story is going to run and run.
Nantes insurers I doubt will payout as he had signed and registered as a Cardiff player so therefore their insurance will no longer be valid so will rightly be chasing Cardiff for it.
I’d imagine Cardiff would’ve insured him but that would likely be invalidated by the fact Sala chose to fly on a ramshackle plane, in a storm which was flown by someone who wasn’t fully qualified and Cardiff appeared to make minimal effort if any to ensure he got on a proper plane.
I can see Cardiff now suing the agent who arranged it all. I doubt he’ll have £18m in cash lying around so i’d imagine he’ll likely declare himself bankrupt and Cardiff will just have to pay it.
