That's horrific! I'll never get on a plane that small...Feel really sorry for his family etc.
I'm wondering what this means for Cardiff too...are they out of pocket

Re: Emiliano Sala
Clubs would have insurance for long term injuries and the like.
I'd imagine this would fall under this.
Horrible tragedy, Still conflicting reports but if true RIP to him and the other people on board

Re: Emiliano Sala
Seems like it’s true, nobody could survive a night in the English Channel in January.
Tragic story for him and the other person on board. Doesn’t matter that he’s a footballer or about insurance etc.
I’d always fly commercially even if I was super rich. Not often that a BA, Emirates, Virgin flight etc comes down.

Re: Emiliano Sala
Of course it should be the last thing on anyone's mind, regardless of what the guy did for a living he and whoever else was onboard was somebodies child
Yeah English Channel wouldn't be the best place to be even during the height of summer much less winter.
Horrible tragedy

I think people are always going to be curious about the sporting consequences when this happens to sportstars, of course sport isnt the main concern in this situation but i dont blame people thinking about those things in the moment.

Re: Emiliano Sala
Of course if it was someone Newcastle signed I be wondering about the financial side of it. Actually I'd imagine it would be the first question Ashley would probably want to knowDon Sholeone wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 10:50 amI think people are always going to be curious about the sporting consequences when this happens to sportstars, of course sport isnt the main concern in this situation but i dont blame people thinking about those things in the moment.

Supports Rio's argument for Ashley not buying players.
Re: Emiliano Sala
Awful. Hope he’s somehow made it out alive but sounds bleak. What are the chances, esp so soon after the Leicester helicopter crash.
I had the first custom w***

Re: Emiliano Sala
I suppose an optimist could think its just the radio that when down and they have had to emergency land somewhere once they came over land, i assume these tiny planes are not tracked as well as the bigger ones.

Re: Emiliano Sala
Unconfirmed rumours that the plane took off on the 4th attempt after failing to take off 3 times.
If that is true then you have to say some blame lies with ground crew and aviation authority in Nantes. Why was the plane not grounded !!!

Re: Emiliano Sala
That is terrible news, really hope everybody turns up safe.
Hate to add to the gloom but that is not an area of water you would want to crash-land in. The waters off Alderney are notoriously dangerous. If the plane came down near Les Casquets lighthouse that is slap bang in the middle of what is known as the Alderney Race, an area of water which has rip-tides that reach up to 12 knots in speed (that's about 13.5mph). Sailors and fishermen generally avoid it because it is so rough.

Yeah my stepdad goes out sea fishing in the Channel most weekends and you really need to know what you're doing or else you'll find yourself in serious trouble.Donkey Toon wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 1:44 pmThat is terrible news, really hope everybody turns up safe.

It's grim news and though not confirmed yet, it seems pretty certain a crash like that would have killed all on board. RIP

Re: Emiliano Sala
Search called off for a second day, no chance at all will they find anyone alive sadly. Even IF they did manage to crash land on land, it's not exactly an area of vast wilderness so they would have been found already. The plane will have come down in the sea and if they did survive the crash they'd have long since died from hypothermia. Tragic stuff. Hopefully they can find the wreckage and recover bodies to help the families with their grief.

Re: Emiliano Sala
Just watched the local news (i'm from Guernsey). Already searched a 1,000 sq.miles. They reported an update during the news that apparently some floating debris had been spotted a couple of hours ago, but by the time the lifeboat reached the sight there was nothing anywhere near. The currents having already taken it miles away.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 5:28 pmSearch called off for a second day, no chance at all will they find anyone alive sadly.

Can't they just get a submarine to do some sort of sonar s*** to take a scan and create a 3D model of the sea and the sea bed?

And how small fragments of plane are in comparison.

Re: Emiliano Sala
I saw on the news they shared a voice clip left by Sala to his friends or something - and he said he was worrying about the state of the plane...
