The Cardiff City footballer Emiliano Sala was found missing and feared dead in a plane missing issue. The plane carried Sala and the Pilot, David Ibbotson on board. The debris from the plane has been discovered in the English Channel.

The plane, Piper Malibu N264DB was lost on 21 January on its way from Nantes, France, to Cardiff. David Mearns, who led a privately-funded search for the aircraft, said that it was located off Guernsey. “All I will say, is that there is a substantial amount of wreckage on the seabed.” said David. He is a marine explorer who has been working alongside the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).

A search boat located the debris on the seabed of the English Channel at 9:00 am on Sunday, in a search led by David. The Guernsey Police stopped looking for Sala and Ibbotson three days after the incident had reported, with officials saying the chance of them being alive was extremely unlikely.
