Wreckage of Sala's Plane Found
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has confirmed wreckage of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala which disappeared has been found.
GOAL
The plane that was carrying Emiliano Sala was found in the English Channel on Sunday morning, following a two-week search for the aircraft that was carrying the missing footballer.
Sala was aboard the Piper Malibu aircraft on January 22 as he flew from Nantes to Wales after completing a £15m ($19.8m) transfer to Cardiff City.
The Argentine had flown back to France to say goodbye to his team-mates and, on his way back to England, the plane carrying the forward and pilot David Ibbotson disappeared from radar close to the Channel Islands.
The plane was located following an extensive search of the area with a search boat positively identifying the aircraft after discovery on Sunday.
Marine scientist David Mearns led the search on Sunday and confirmed that the plane was located and that families were notified by police.
A further statement is expected on Monday.
Initial search and recovery efforts were called off three days after the flight disappeared, but the search was then resumed after Sala's family raised funds to continue the efforts.
