The search for missing footballer Emiliano Sala and his pilot David Ibbotson has been called off after rescuers failed to locate their plane.

28-year-old Sala and his pilot Mr Ibbotson, from Crowle, Lincolnshire, were on the aircraft that disappeared from radaron Monday.

After three days of scouring the English Channel, authorities made the decision to abandon the search.

But Sala's sister Romina pleaded with rescuers to keep looking for him.

Guernsey Police tweeted at 15:15 GMT to say rescuers were "no longer actively searching" for the plane.

Harbourmaster Capt David Barker said the chances of survival were "extremely remote".

"There has been over 24 hours of continuous searching, with 80 hours combined flying time across three planes and five heleicopters.

"Two lifeboats have also been involved, as well as assistance from various passing ships and fishing boats.

"We reviewed all the information available to us, as well as knowing what emergency equipment was on board, and have taken the difficult decision to end the search.

"The chances of survival at this stage are extremely remote."

MySportDab report As the news was announced, Sala's sister Romina pleaded with the authorities to keep searching, saying: "I know in my heart Emiliano is still alive."

She said: "Please, please, please don't stop the search. We understand the effortbut please don't stop the search.

"For us, they are still alive. It is difficult to express our feelings at the moment because everything is really hard."

Guernsey Fresh Police Update: “The island of Burhou has been searched by foot.

“No trace of the aircraft or those on board has been found.”

There's something behind this strange disappearance?

What if the rapture has taken place?

Or, he's a super hero and we don't know?

Or

He's somewhere else waiting for someone to come rescue him and the pilot?

Or he's in heaven!?

Or

He was kidnapped by APC for rituals ?

Or He'd gone to hide so as to resurface on April first?

Or he's trying to see how the world loves him?

Or he's in Cardiff's stadium so as to make his return historic?

Or he's drinking garri in one of the bushes...


I don't want to believe he's dead

This is a bad news. R.I.P Sala

I can imagine the trauma his family is going through.

Chai! So sad. God I pray he is found and rescued by somebody. My God!

Rip

When the saying goes: we are nothing but pencils in the hand of our Creator

At least it's still better than some poverty stricken politician lying to you !

Where could they have been?Is it that they've entered ground like Orunmila or they landed in hell(Devil can't release them easily like that)

Oga, how can u say u have searched everywhere?

Have u searched Africa?

What if the Emiliano and Sala are somewhere in Africa.

It's all over

if oyinbo give up on your matter na miracle remain those people don't give up easily.

People doesn't know how painful it can be to lost some one until it happen to your close relative. God please guide them to safety if they're still alive as I believe.
