Emiliano SalaThe wreckage of the aircraft that disappeared over the English Channel last month carrying Premier League football player Emiliano Sala and his pilot has been located, the marine scientist directing the search says. "Wreckage of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala and piloted by David Ibbotson was located early this morning," marine scientist David Mearns, who directed the search, said on Twitter. Mearns said Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) had moved its vessel over the position his team had located to visually identify the plane using a remote-operated vehicle. "The families of Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson have been notified by police. Tonight our sole thoughts are with the families and friends of Emiliano and David," Mearns said.
