The aircraft carrying football star Emiliano Sala was found at the bottom of the English Channel in Alderney. The crowd-funded search with the sonar for about two weeks found the wrecks of the plane which was carrying Argentine striker and the pilot.
The Argentine football striker's father Horacio said from his home town Progreso:
'I cannot believe it .... this is a dream ... a bad dream ... I'm desperate'
Though the pieces of the plane are found, there is no any news about the pa s senger, Emiliano Sala, and the pilot David Ibbotson.
The total sum of £300000 ( $ 395,984.70 ) was collected by crowdfunding starting a campaign GoFundMe with the help of Premier League stars Laurent Koscielny and Ilkay Gundogan. Moreover, popular football stars including Lionel Messi, Adrien Rabiot, Nordi Mukiele, Kylian Mbappe, Geoffrey and others donated a large sum of money while boosting the GoFundMe Campaign.
The plane's pieces were found by the shipwreck hunter c u m Marine scientist David Mearns in the night. He said:
A plane carrying Emiliano Sala and piloted by Dave Ibbotson, 59, has been located by my crew. The families of Sala and Ibbotson have been informed by the police. This is about the best result we could expect for the families but is devastating news. No bodies have not been recovered yet.
He also believes that the plane entered the deep blue ocean in one piece that is why it has been found so fast in the English Channel.
Shipwreck hunter David Mearns used the latest sonar technology that scanned the seabed of Alderney in an Island of the English Channel. The boat FBV Morven picked up the signal through the remote-controlled submarine fitted with a camera that identified and captured scraps of the plane.
'The two-seat cushions which are believed to be of the plane were found on the beach near Surtainville, on France's Cotentin Peninsula, Normandy' reported by The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).
