They are looking into the possibility he escaped on a raft

[Kazanne]

This is such a sad story,I suppose it is asking for a miracle that he is safe,but from what we see and hear it looks like no happy ending,poor guy.

They have said they are have 4 possible outcomes and are prioritising the idea they are on a raft that was on board so hopefully we will get good news

It's unlikely but fingers crossed anyway

They seem confident with coastal areas and off lying rocks and islands their main priority

It would be fantastic to have a happy ending

[Livia]

What a horrible story. I really hope he and his pilot are found, as unlikely as that seems.

[Denver]

There is a lifeboat searching the coast of Jersey after debris was spotted

[Denver]

There is an option the plane sank and if they were on board it will be hard to recover bodies

[Cherie]

Would be amazing if they were found, the weather conditions are against them though

[Denver]

So it's been said if they can't find the Aircraft it will limit the chances of finding them at all especially if they sunk with the plane.

That must be really scary for the families that they may not even get a body let alone them being alive

[Denver]

It has now become a recovery operation

[Denver]

They most likely wont continue searching tomorrow and he is believed to be dead.

I hope if he is dead they send divers out to recover the bodies as their families deserve the chance to say goodbye.

Also his agent has confirmed her sorted the flight out and got the 1st plane avaible.

But experts believe the Plane should not have been flown because it can't deal with the weather and it most likely crashed because the engine was blocked with ice

wow, why not put him on a commercial flight, looks like they put him on a heap of junk and this cant be confirmed now as they most likely wont be able to recover the wreckage

He wanted to get back quickly so they looked at Private jets and his agent picked the 1st one avaible.

He told friends the plane was falling apart and was scared and the plane took 4 times to get off the runway.

As I said I know it's stupid to even think of such a thing, but from a footballing stance this is a cruel blow to Cardiff / their transfer window from a pragmatic POV.

Anyway, typing all of that made me feel gross and tactless, so I'll reiterate my sadness at what is most likely his passing. How many others were aboard?

I get what you mean Shaun, tbh I've been wondering about it myself.

An awful event to happen regardless, especially after we've not that long ago mourned the Leicester owner and the four other people that died during the Leicester Helicopter crash, a truly awful year for Football in terms of health & safety.

He will have been insured by Cardiff, he is now their player, it doesn't really matter if it was only for a couple of hours, so Nantes will keep their fee and the insurance will pay out for Cardiff if they find a body, not sure what will happen if they don't

Okay, thanks for the explanation.

I'm still gonna hold out some hope that he is still alive until they find a body that says otherwise.

i saw possible location is near Guernsey, maybe our Smithy knows more

[LaLaLand]

There's been possible flare sightings coming from a small bird island reserve in the channel, being investigated.

It's tiny but a small plane could easily land on it apparently if need be.

Imagine if they are found alive that would be incredible

[LaLaLand]

Reading the article though I don't think it's anything to get excited about sadly.

both are dead no point pretending otherwise
