This would of course be wonderful and I don't mean to sound negative but I read it more as the rescue services basically can't confirm anything at all (as they haven't found anything yet) so stated 4 possibilities at this stage.

1 - They have landed somewhere and can't make contact
2 - They landed on water, were picked up and haven't made contact
3 - The made it to a life raft
4 - the plane broke up, leaving them in the sea

This isn't meant to be critical of your post but I read your post as if the rescue services had hinted that they had found something which suggested a life raft appears to have been deployed.

Rule out number two. No chance that happening. Either the ship picking them up would have made a radio call/mobile call

Might be worth allowing the search and rescue to conclude before speculating on foul play or conspiracy theories.

Not speculating just stated something didn't add up.

BBC Reporting that the flight was the players own arangements and not made by Cardiff City.

Its all so sad.

Find it very surprising that Cardiff didn't insist on arranging their new, highly valuable asset's travel. How many other PL clubs would allow new expensive signings to fly this distance in a light aircraft?

Or maybe he mentioned to her dodgy stuff going on when they were together?

You are Leon Knight and I claim my £5. Why would your ex know anything about it though?

Is that correct? The plane that Bissouma and Ali J traveled on looked much more modern then the Piper Malibu?

Pretty sure it didn’t have a single propeller too.

I'd probably go as far as saying it had jet engines?

Happy to be corrected by those in the know!

An old video of a pilot talking about the risks of flying these planes, actually find it amazing one of these can be chartered for a flight of that distance over water.

She knows everything. We didn’t get on because of that.

Yes, I do too. It occurred to me that I've seen Sala play at the Amex last July. He was in the Nantes team that was here in a preseason friendly.
