    And we shouldn't speculate until then. It's wrong and won't do any good.

    The longer we go without news then I’d imagine so. Survival time in the water was probably only a couple of hours given the sea surface temperature.

    Aircraft was owned by the football club? meaning us? And he complained to someone it was bumpy on the previous journey. Not good.

    If only he hadn't have postponed his signing and transfer last week so he could play 1 last game for Nantes, he may still have been alive today. Sad.

    Every single moment has an impact on our lives and we have no control.

    A very valid point about why he was being flown in a single engine aircraft over the Channel at night with an approaching front (snow?), at relatively low altitude (5,000 ft).

    Yes, always baffles me to think in these situations that literally everything, down to the most miniscule event, at least up until he decided to board the plane has contributed to him being there at that time. Boggles the mind.

    A pilot on talksport said that all commercial charter flights over water would use twin engines as you always have a back up and that it must have been a private flight.
    He was spot on unfortunately.

    Correct. Which begs the question why a private flight in a single engine aircraft was a good idea. And did the pilot have the correct qualifications? I do hope it doesn't transpire that pressure was put on the pilot to get him to Cardiff in time for training this morning, just for publicity's sake or similar.

    Again, let's not jump to any conclusions.
