Two weeks ago, the small plane with the Argentinian professional football players on Board over the English channel the Radar was gone. Now the wreck of the Propeller plane was found.
The small aircraft, with Emiliano Sala on 21. January crashed over the English channel, has been discovered. This is the British authority announced for the investigation of air-driving tion gaps (AAIB). “I can confirm that it has been found,” said an AAIB spokesman.
The chief of the private search company, Blue Water Recoveries, David Mearns, wrote on Twitter that the plane wreck was located on Sunday morning.
On the bottom of the sea there are parts of a “large amount of wreckage,” said Mearns. Salas family had commissioned Blue Water Recoveries with the search for the missing plane. Salas father’s reaction was shaken at the news of the discovery of the machine. “I can’t believe it, this is a nightmare,” said Horacio Sala an Argentine TV channel.
“I’m scared”
The single-engine “Piper PA-46 Malibu” with the Argentine professional soccer player and a British pilot (59) on Board had disappeared on the flight from Nantes in France to Cardiff in the UK, approximately 20 kilometres North of the channel island of Guernsey from the Radar. Sala had expressed previously in a voice message, yet his fear of an impending crash. “I’m in a plane that looks like it would fall apart,” said the 28-Year-old via WhatsApp to friends and Relatives. And further: “If you are in one and a half hours of listening to me: I don’t know whether to send someone, you won’t find me anyway. Dad, I’m scared.”
A days-long search, with helicopters and ships was unsuccessful, it was discontinued as a result. Last Wednesday, two seat cushions have been washed up on the North French coast, which are supposed to belong to the missing plane. Finally, the search for the Missing special device was continued under the water.
