Shameful. I just hope there is none of this sort of stuff posted on Swan's forums.

I see the Scum have deleted most of their absolutely Vile posts ......... cringeworthy and totally unacceptable

Planet Swans very respectful. Reading’s HNA also respectful. Some Millwall idiots do not represent the vast majority of football fans who will have been saddened by this awful accident.

Nantes city centre this evening

This is sad

Chief officer of Channel Island Air Search tells me they have found what appears to be seating and orange material in the sea. They’re fairly confident it is from the plane. If feasible, the coastguard could choose to send a diver down to examine below the water surface

What we were dreading to read

What curse has been put on our club since Leicester away? Thoughts being with the family of the player at this time; here's hoping that it's all ok in the end.

The sad thing about this is it implies that the plane went down quite close to the islands. To send a search and rescue/recovery diver down the maximum depth is 50m. I don't know the waters around the channel islands well, but think it exceeds that depth quite close to the islands.

Do these sized planes have "black boxes"?

Pilot on Radio Wales said no.

I posted an up-to-date navigational chart of the area earlier in this thread. It shows the depths concerned. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/attachment.php...7&d=1548157296

There is no requirement for them to be fitted on this type of aircraft.

I gather that this is the aircraft involved.

If we get the news we are all dreading tomorrow, then hopefully something good can come from it, in the guise of a long and lasting friendship between Cardiff City fans and Nantes supporters.

The two cities are twinned with each other. No matter what the outcome, I imagine that relationship will be much stronger than most cities that are twinned together.

All hope is lost. Just hope they recover the bodies.

A friendly between City and Nantes would be nice.

A moving homage for Emiliano Sala unfolding in the centre of Nantes this evening.

Thanks TBG, 50m depth is really close to land.

I’m still struggling to take this all in... :-(

I feel exactly the same. Totally gutted and feeling sick!

Isn t Cardiff twinned with Nantes? I can foresee a game between both clubs coming about to pay respects if we get the news we are all dreading.

Just doesn’t seem to be real and can’t imagine what his and the pilot”s family must be going through tonight .

When you hear of these sort of things you don’t really consider how close to home these tragedies can get. I thought the Leicester one really brought home that life is too short, but this one takes it to another level in the sense of how close to home it actually is.
So surreal, my thoughts and prayers are going out to Emiliano’s family and friends as well as the pilot’s.
