Doomed plane carrying footballer Emiliano Sala was 'dodgy', pilot said – BBC News

The pilot of Emiliano Sala’s plane told friends the aircraft was “dodgy” before the flight that killed the Argentine footballer.

Pilot David Ibbotson is heard in audio saying “I’ll be wearing my life jacket” on the journey from France to Wales.

He also revealed the technical difficulties he had experienced with the 35-year-old Piper Malibu plane.

The plane crashed into the English Channel in 2019, killing them both.

    The tounge is a little member very dangerous what you say might just happen

  2. Erik Diaz on November 26, 2022 at 9:42 pm

    crazy. why the shitty plane did they force pilot to use that plane?

  3. jfk21 on November 26, 2022 at 9:45 pm

    ok, who records casual phone calls?

    What the fuck was he doing even getting on that piece of shit.. the more you find out the more you have to ask yourself how their guts didnt stop them flying that plane. This was literally a couple of years ago so their is no reason to be trying to fly that piece of shit… people just think life has a respawn.

    Moral of the story don’t allow yourself to fly a plane that isn’t sky worthy

  6. Not here for it. on November 26, 2022 at 9:51 pm

    It’s easy to blame the pilot but also look and the industry. Why did the pilot feel he couldn’t tell his complaints to the company. How was he allowed to fly without proper clearing from the airport and the company who hired him.

    @3:08 broke my heart.

    no one lived to tell how painful a crash would be. we’re not intended to fly anyway but science is defying gravity every day

  9. Garri R on November 26, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    What happens when you cheap out.

  10. MrYoumitube on November 26, 2022 at 9:57 pm

    20 Million pounds worth WTF? Why dont he just fly commercial business or first class, or go by train. Its only France to Wales….Sad!!!!

  11. David B on November 26, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    How many of us can honestly say we’d have turned this flight down? We always think it won’t happen to us

  12. Jamel Taras on November 26, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    The fear of letting others down cost them their lives by the looks of it

  13. Marcel Steiner on November 26, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    I want to wake up one morning and find my portfolio to be up to $10k before a year
    I guess it can be possible

  14. JALC-x on November 26, 2022 at 10:01 pm

    unbelievable that both the pilot and the passenger implied that they weren’t going to make it through the flight

  15. Rik Ver Mar on November 26, 2022 at 10:01 pm

    who arranged the flight?

  16. gary de mesa on November 26, 2022 at 10:02 pm

    Moral of the story…. Life is very unexpected…… Live it while you can

  17. N.A on November 26, 2022 at 10:03 pm

    I never though of this as an accident !!

    And since the pilot was never found !!! He could be part of the plot !!
    My opinion !

  18. Dalton Harris on November 26, 2022 at 10:06 pm

    As a student pilot currently in academy, the first chapter they had you read in lesson 1 was that no flight should be taken under any circumstance if aircraft or pilot ability are in question. The external pressures are the leading cause of accidents, and a pilot needs to have a strong enough personality to say no to a flight when it’s not safe for passengers or crew, even if it’s high profile.

  19. ROOSPOOSCREATE on November 26, 2022 at 10:07 pm

    His gut told him not to board that plane,but money got in the way.

  20. Penjani Chanda on November 26, 2022 at 10:07 pm

    sad

  21. chris lim on November 26, 2022 at 10:09 pm

    How absurd when a pilot knows plane was not fit 2fly*So sad wht a tragedy,could hav been avoided:(*!!!!!

  22. Bob Vance on November 26, 2022 at 10:09 pm

    He couldn’t afford to fly Vueling or Ryan Air? I don’t get this story, why would you fly private from Nante to Cardiff. Far easier to just go commercial

  23. Tin Coronel on November 26, 2022 at 10:09 pm

    hearbreaki g😥

  24. Lambent Ort on November 26, 2022 at 10:10 pm

    So sad. RIP.

  25. steven G on November 26, 2022 at 10:12 pm

    not legally allowed to fly at night and not allowed to commercially fly. Why risk doing both in a dodgy plane with another human being life at stake…

  26. IAM-Highlights on November 26, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    Why the hell was he given a non commercial flight that’s one of your best strikers that you’ve purchased.

  27. Just Sum Geek on November 26, 2022 at 10:16 pm

    If your a pilot and you say I’m going to wear a life jacket when you go to fly and usually you don’t, then don’t fly.

  28. Tommy Tom on November 26, 2022 at 10:18 pm

    Just enhanced my fear of flying… and I’ve flown over 30 times

  29. Rachmad Suhartono on November 26, 2022 at 10:18 pm

    News anchor looks very concerned

  30. Light of Earth on November 26, 2022 at 10:19 pm

    RIP Liverpool’s hopes

  31. Gray Jappe on November 26, 2022 at 10:19 pm

    Then he shouldn’t have flown it

  32. Jasmine Ekusai on November 26, 2022 at 10:21 pm

    When you treat humans as prized property instead of humans… shouldn’t have gotten on the plane but I’m sure they felt a need to.

  33. Rocky 3 on November 26, 2022 at 10:23 pm

    R.I.P Emiliano Sala You Never Got to Play for us but you will be in Our Hearts 💙 forever from a Bluebird 🙏🏻💙✌🏻

  34. The Dogecoin 🦊multi millionaire on November 26, 2022 at 10:23 pm

    What investigation who ever gave the plane is the murder

  35. CarlYoungII on November 26, 2022 at 10:23 pm

    Wow, I’m already terrified of flying on planes as it is… then I watch something like this? I don’t think I ever will fly on a plane in this lifetime. Some ppl tell me to never let fear hold you back, but I think it’s just my gut instinct forewarning me that something will go horribly wrong and I will have no control over my own fate.

  36. ALHAUS3R on November 26, 2022 at 10:24 pm

    That Airline should be held responsible at all cost. Who is the idiot who approved of this flight without first checking system malfunctions. If the pilot
    knew in his gut the plane had issues he should of stated that or quit his job if they didn’t care. Mechanics fix problems, the pilot is the one who puts it to the test and he should of had a better idea of how his plane sounds and alerted everyone to wear a life jacket.

  37. war dw on November 26, 2022 at 10:25 pm

    Fuckint why he proceeded to fly him

  38. Wade on November 26, 2022 at 10:25 pm

    A soccer player worth millions and people wanted to save money with a crappy airplane. Who’s genius idea was this?

  39. ProprietaryCurez on November 26, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    I wonder why they felt that way. Were rivets missing or what?

  40. colorado841 on November 26, 2022 at 10:29 pm

    This is very sad but I guess he deserved it. I mean who takes off in a rickety old plane from an airport that has freaky shit written in huge letters all over the runway?

  41. will on November 26, 2022 at 10:32 pm

    Weird start!

  42. war dw on November 26, 2022 at 10:32 pm

    Just fly economy commercially

  43. Carl Ingram on November 26, 2022 at 10:34 pm

    That pilot is to blame for the deaths,shocking from him,if i was a top player i would not get in a tin can,sad all round

  44. Cheehee 808 on November 26, 2022 at 10:34 pm

    One of my best friends from HS went missing in a small plane crash off the coast of Molokai. He had gotten his pilots license, took a day trip over from Oahu then the weather deteriorated when they were getting ready to fly back that evening. He didn’t wanna stay over night so he ended up taking off back to Oahu against his better judgment. That one decision lost him his life. His plane went down and him and his 2 passengers were never seen again. I heard about it on the news the next morning, this was back in 2016

  45. Maria Jason on November 26, 2022 at 10:35 pm

    Tragic…..
    He wasn’t qualified why did he do that to the Boy who started his Life

  46. Misha A on November 26, 2022 at 10:37 pm

    I can’t imagine the total primal fear they felt as the plane went down 😢 esp being so nervous in the 1st place

  47. Bob Bulgi on November 26, 2022 at 10:38 pm

    Shatters any illusion of free will?

  48. Rik Bam 444 on November 26, 2022 at 10:38 pm

    How the hell did he end up on that plane

  49. Mary Alff on November 26, 2022 at 10:39 pm

    They knew something was wrong, usually people suspect and say nothing, some pray, but these two talked about it, And still got on the plane?

  50. Dokil Saram on November 26, 2022 at 10:41 pm
