There is a good chance the search teams will never find the bodies.
Oh heck, poor fellow. This is dreadful, if confirmed.
Wow, that’s tragic. I would have refused to board such a plane.
He must've flown in it before. Has it been said how he got to Cardiff to sign the deal in the first place (and obviously he went back to France before this fateful flight).Wow, that’s tragic. I would have refused to board such a plane.
My condolences mate. Don't suffer alone if possible. I went through something similar and found that speaking about it really helped. Stay strong pal xThanks. He was having dizzy spells after working in the sun for a couple of hours. After sitting down, drinking some water he tried to leave the house. As he's walking out he inexplcably collapses from the doorstep. He didnt break his fall, landed on his head , fractured his skull. He was in ICU from 24 dec-30 dec. He had a brain herrmorage and needed surgery but his blood pressure was too low to operate. Doctor was wating for it to rise to a norma level, but it never did. Needless to say, very traumatic for me and still trying to deal with it.
Really sorry to read that mate. Stay strong. And R.I.P to your friend.So sad. I dont if life is precious anymore. An accident like this, a young man about to begin probably the most exciting part of his life. It shouldnt happen.
My best friend died last month. He was a Manchester United fan, was so excited after Mourinho sacking and was looking forward to life under Ole. He only got to see the one match. It actually hurts seeing UTD doing so well, wishing my friend was here to experience it. AT 25, on the verge of starting his masters. Probably the best guy I Knew. We buried him with a UTD jersey, an AIG one, some of his best time supporting the club. Sorry to go off topic a little, but my point is, I really dont know if life is precious anymore when these things happen to good young men.
This same planeHe must've flown in it before. Has it been said how he got to Cardiff to sign the deal in the first place (and obviously he went back to France before this fateful flight).
Blimey, must've been a much smoother journey there and back the first time as no way surely he'd have risked things if there were issues.This same plane
Nope. Even worse:Blimey, must've been a much smoother journey there and back the first time as no way surely he'd have risked things if there were issues.

I'd take car anyday than these charted flights.They are less safe than commercial flights, probably, but must still be a lot safer than cars.
Words really fail me. Guess he was just desperate to get to Cardiff and get started so wanted to take quickest method of transport.Nope. Even worse:

Everything surrounding it makes it seem like it really wasn't safe at all. Awful stuff.
This is very sad. No shame in refusing to fly on a shoddy looking plane.Very sad news indeed. Having a background in aerospace, and been lucky enough to have flown a lot, it would definitely seem like a case of several unfortunate events lining up together, rather than any single fault of mechanical systems, pilot error or weather.
The tweets are interesting - not sure how much to read into them (as the poster above mentioned). I've flown some pretty bad routes/multiple attempted landings and forced redirects. For a layperson they feel like the world could be ending. Devastating for his loved ones to receive those messages.
Nice to see you post againVery sad news indeed. Having a background in aerospace, and been lucky enough to have flown a lot, it would definitely seem like a case of several unfortunate events lining up together, rather than any single fault of mechanical systems, pilot error or weather.

I'm not the biggest fan of Ronaldo's ego, but hidn't intend anything by that tweet, as pointed out by someone on twitter, it was poor timing rather than malice. Lineker should stop with the moral preaching, he actually blocked the guy who replied to him saying it was him (Lineker) who was making it a bigger issue than it is by quoting Ronaldo's tweet.Tweet

Erm, have you taken a look at Ronaldo's Twitter? It looks more like ad-spam due to his many sponsorships, with almost zero personal touches. Ronaldo has people running Twitter for him bar the odd tweet like this one, and there is no proof that even this tweet was posted personally by him. He hardly checks out the latest Twitter trends."He's probably not heard about it." He never got that photo developed at boots. He's literally on the internet to post the fecking thing on twitter! People genuinely sitting around here thinking Ronaldo didnt know about it. He's an egomaniac. Of course it wouldnt have crossed his mind to tweet it and think nothing of the other incident. That's his personality all over.
Jesus the internet really is patheticI find it more disheartening and disrespectful that people find the need to connect Ronaldo's photo to the tragedy. It's bad timing, yes but he obviously had no idea about the incident. Gary Linker is an idiot for quoting the tweet as it's basically shit stirring. He's a Messi fan anyway, so anything to get bad publicity for Ronaldo.
Even I, who hasn't done much today didn't hear about the news until about an hour ago much less Ronaldo who has been travelling between countries and attending a court case..
The sensible thing to have done was just ignore it no matter how insensitive or ill-timed it looks. Quoting it like he did doesn't really add anything
It's on Sporza but you'd have to scroll way down. It's not headline news like it is on the football pages of The Guardian, that's my point. It seems to be getting a little more attention now, but still easy to miss.No you didn't, it was on Sporza's main page and on the HLN app as well.
I'm not saying Ronaldo definitely knew about it because there's a good chance he didn't, and obviously he isn't making fun of the situation - but it's just so typical and reaffirms for me that most footballers or professional athletes in general simply live in their own world with a lack of some self-awareness.
And no one did nothing about it. FFS!Nope. Even worse:

Please do speak to someone if you can. This is great first step..
My condolences.
I don't normally post here but I just wanted to say how sorry I am for you to lose your best friend. I'm 25 myself and a mad utd fan just like your mate Life's way to short
Back on topic. It's hard to digest but he's not surviving that crash. The conditions and considering how short the flying distance is. Cardiff is about 40 mins from where I lived in Bristol and this is heartbreaking news.
surely they'll find the remains of the plane though?There is a good chance the search teams will never find the bodies.
I was told yesterday that it is actually the club president's plane but I've not seen anything confirm it yet so pinch of salt but possible.Who chartered that plane?
People are dying every second. I'm sure somewhere someone has died from the lack clean water and I'm sure somewhere someone has taken a picture of themselves drinking water. Thats life.Tweet

Yeah. If (hope not) the plane has gone down in water then zero possibility of finding anybody.There is a good chance the search teams will never find the bodies.
Yes that's life and it's also one of the worst analogies I've ever read on here.People are dying every second. I'm sure somewhere someone has died from the lack clean water and I'm sure somewhere someone has taken a picture of themselves drinking water. Thats life.
I guess in these situations, you just decide to assume that the pilot knows best, and if they're happy to fly in the plane, you trust their judgment since they're the experts and unlikely to risk their own lives flying in something unreliable.Two years ago i would have said why did he not speak up if he was worried? But after being in a similar situation myself where i thought there was something wrong with the plane before take off on a flight back from Australia (which thankfully was just me being paranoid) and bottling saying anything i can understand fully why he didn't.
A chance but I'd imagine a slim one perhaps. Not to mention the aircraft being very small in stature to some of the bigger ones that have gone missing. Think they mentioned some floating objects had been found so if they could ID those to the aircraft then they have answers but recovery of the wreckage and finding anybody i imagine would be very difficult.surely they'll find the remains of the plane though?
I read that they had seen some objects floating but had to confirm what it was. Perhaps today with 2 spotter planes up they may check that out againsurely they'll find the remains of the plane though?
Words really fail me. Guess he was just desperate to get to Cardiff and get started so wanted to take quickest method of transport.
Yeah Lineker is being an idiot grief shaming to make himself look goodPeople are dying every second. I'm sure somewhere someone has died from the lack clean water and I'm sure somewhere someone has taken a picture of themselves drinking water. Thats life.
It's people like yourself and Lineker who create the issues that aren't there. You two should pat yourselves on your backs.Yes that's life and it's also one of the worst analogies I've ever read on here.
As bad as it sounds I hope that is a real quote and not some bullshit someone has made for 'likes'.
