Correct - according to the media.So who was the other person? Presumably the pilot..?
I didn't see their name mentioned in that article.Correct - according to the media.
Very sad
Thank you and apologies if my response deemed to be inappropriate.Tidied
A celebrity? I thought he was a footballer who I, I might add, have never heard of.The problem is everyday people die every day. It's only a news story if it is someone famous, a sports person, celebrity etc. Think how many people must of died in accidents/car crashes in the last week. As they were just the general public it won't have made major news. But throw in a celebrity and it gets top billing. That's just how the media works.
It is distasteful that the pilot has seemingly been completely forgotten in most bulletins and you can imagine what his family must be thinking. On Heart radio the news report did mention them both at least.
Latest news said there may be a slim chance they survived on a life raft, but I think that is just wishful thinking sadly.

But not to mention the pilot at all as the BBC did is shameful.
I can't believe Bordeaux are still after the money from Cardiff too...
surely there must be some kind of insurance for this?
You mean Nantes, and I can fully understand why they'd want their money. The deal was completed and he was no longer their player. I agree the timing is insensitive.
As for insurance, I'd imagine that's the responsibility of his club, Cardiff.
I don’t want to make a joke in this thread but I would think the cause of death is clear? Presumably they were waiting for what actually happened to be known.checking insurance validity etc due to the cause of death, before making payment.

I wouldn't be surprised if this checking actually involves checking whether or not they'd got around to insuring him.Yes, I should have made it more clear. I was meaning to say they are looking into the insurance validity etc, given the "unusual circumstances"
Something bothering me.
They only found one and recovered one body from the plane which was the footballer.
So where’s the pilot’s body?
