David Mearns, oceanographer and director of Bluewater Recoveries, who headed the renewed search efforts to locate the then missing plane carrying Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson, says both Sala and Ibbotson's families know they are dead. Mearns and his company were able to locate the plane just hours after the search had commenced, with video footage revealing a body on board the wreckage.

The plane carrying missing Cardiff City striker Emiliano Sala was found yesterday, two weeks after it vanished, and his family has been alerted. The plane carrying Sala and pilot David Ibbotson disappeared on January 21 while flying over the English Channel. An official search for Sala's plane was stopped by Guernsey Police on January 24, with officials saying their chances of survival were extremely remote. The search for the missing plane was resumed three days later after football stars like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and others, including football fans raised  £325,000 for a private search to begin. Horacio Sala Sala's devastated dad, Horacio Sala, spoke to Cronica TV outside his home in Santa Fe, Argentina, after receiving the news, saying  "I can't believe it, this is a dream, a bad dream. I'm desperate. "I communicated with them every day, but since I do not have Whatsapp it's hard to call them or call me. "They told me tha
