Only just found out. Really sickening news but no positive proof of fatalities.
I hope and pray that it ends well.

I think it surpasses knowing the man.
It's surreal as it hits close to home more than anything, we were about to be chanting this guy's name from the stands and by the looks of it he will never get to play for our club. It's heatbreaking whether you know the man or not.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
his name will be chanted louder than ever now...
gutting

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Numbingly shocking news. Difficult to think of much else today.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Still finding this very hard to take in. Here’s hoping for a miracle.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
This is terrible news. The longer it goes the more I feel the news will be sad.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
I feel for his family and close friends.

You’d think that they’d abandon that after all those attempts? He could have driven to a port in no time with all his stuff too. Gutted.

I agree, but we don't really know why it had multiple attempts and presumably had there been any cause for concern they would have abandoned.
Lots of unknowns everywhere. It all sounds grim, but let's hope for some good news.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Man in charge of search does not think there are survivors.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
There were reports that flares had been seen by Guernsey coastguard. But this doesn't seem to have developed further.

Channel Islands Air Search Chief Officer John Fitzgerald on Emiliano Sala’s plane disappearance: “I do not think they are still alive.”

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
God, must be awful for his family home in Argentina, it’s most probably the biggest tragedy to hit Cardiff City, but his poor family, I cannot imagine what they’re going though. We’re still clinging to hope but them, Jesus, my heart goes out to them.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
I've not experienced anything like this in relation to sport.
Numb and hard to think of much else really.
The longer it goes on the more you have to fear the worst.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Channel Islands Air Search Chief & the Coastguard say no survivors are expected to be found.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Poor kid. Surreal and depressing.
Looks like maybe mechanical fault in which case there will have to be questions.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Never met him, never heard of him until our interest and yet it sort of feels like when you hear news of someone you once knew and it shocks you.
It's the power the football club has on all of us I suppose. Its looking unlikely we will every get the chance to see him play for the club we all love and I feel gutted about that but mostly gutted for his friends and family during what should have been an exciting move in a career he loved.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Surreal, this has hit me really hard, if the news is as I fear, First thing I will be doing is getting his name printed on a shirt, he was part of our Cardiff family and will remain so.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
His father's words I am desperate.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Apologies if this seems off-topic to anyone but my mind has been going back 61 years to the Munich Airport disaster - different scale I know. But I recall vividly the day after in a South London school - no link with Man U - but the eerie hushed tones everyone was speaking of the disaster and the totally empty, helpless feeling we had. Feel much the same today.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Seems obvious to me, but after 3 or 4 attempts to take off, isn’t it better to not fly in that plane?
I’m no aviation expert, but surely misattempts at starting are a bad sign anyway?

These are only reports, if true though, I'm with you. It seems very odd.
All over the shop today, absolutely gutted. God knows what his family must be going through.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
This is so sad especially for the player and the pilot but also for the families who will be going through hell at the moment. It’s also a hammer blow to Cardiff City FC. After what happened to Gary Speed and Tom Maynard this is just hard to believe. It just seems unfair.
As a club you will receive the support and respect of the football world.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Going to have fun trying to explain this to my 5 year old boy. In just a couple days he's wanted to be Sala when playing football and has worked out his imaginary Cardiff City team around someone who would score lots of hat-tricks for us, so he reckons. He's also got a fear of hearing planes in the sky.
Can't get my head around this.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
As mentioned many times above this has hit me hard today.
My heart breaks for the friends and family of both pilot and Sala.
Fingers crossed for that slim chance of positive news.

I've e-mailed the Club to ask that they take down the front page of their website which shows Emiliano Sala being welcomed to the Club.
It seems so inappropriate at this time, especially as lots of people will searching the site for news updates

It’s got stupid, irresponsible decisions written all over it. I know it’s not done to start blaming people but **** me, this is shocking. I don’t understand why they’d be in such a rush as to overlook safety concerns.

It’s crossed my mind and I hope it’s not true but they may have felt like he needed to be in Cardiff this morning for his first full day. Forcing the matter to get here.
Obviously not worth it.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Sad news as hope fades. Thoughts are with his and other people on board's families. On a practical level I do hope CCFC had procedures in place to make sure he was insured from the moment he put pen to paper, otherwise it's £15m gone......

Sorry, but that an unfair statement. It's almost like you're suggesting the club knew of the plane's difficulty but insisted that the flight goes ahead. No one knows at this particular point what has happened. So let's not speculate.
-
Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
So so sad.
It's going to be a very emotional day on 2 February. I imagine Sala's name will ring out around the stadium. I've got tears in my eyes just thinking about it.
Very very tragic.

Re: Light aircraft gone down from Nantes to Cardiff near Guernsey last night?
Absolutely tragic , thoughts go out to all family and friends.
