Football: One body seen in wreckage of plane that was carrying Emiliano Sala

Air accident investigators on Monday said one body is visible in the sea in the wreckage of a plane that went missing carrying soccer player Emiliano Sala and his pilot. Sala and David Ibbotson were on board the small aircraft that disappeared from radar on January 21 as it flew from Nantes, France, to Cardiff, Wales. Sala, who played for FC Nantes in France's Ligue 1, had just been signed by Cardiff's Premier League team. Wreckage from the plane was located on Sunday. The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) said that in video footage from a remotely operated underwater vehicle, "one occupant is visible amidst the wreckage. The AAIB is now considering the next steps, in consultation with the families of the pilot and passenger, and the police."
