Plane Piper PA-46, with British footballer Emiliano Sala, disappeared over the English Channel

The plane with the footballer of the British "Cardiff" Emiliano Sala is looking without a trace for the second day.

British and French media report that on the night of January 21, 2019, a small private jet Piper PA-46 disappeared over the English Channel without a trace, carrying the striker of the British "Cardiff" Emiliano Sala, bought from the French "Nantes" for 15 million pounds. The aircraft is already looking for the second day, but so far no traces of the missing aircraft have been found.

By the current hour, it is known that the Piper PA-46 aircraft took off at 19 hours 15 minutes, and was supposed to land in the UK at about 22 hours. However, the plane disappeared from radar, and communication with the pilot could not be established.

“The plane was flying at an altitude of 1500 meters and, flying past the island of Guernsey, requested permission to descend. However, Jersey air traffic controllers lost contact with the pilot when the plane was traveling at an altitude of 700 meters. ", - said in a statement.

Experts try not to express versions about the mysterious disappearance of the plane from Emiliano Sala, but there is an assumption that bad weather and poor visibility could be the culprit.
