Parents, football players and fans gather money to resume Emiliano Sala's research

A day after the authorities had completed the search for the plane that was carrying Argentine striker Emiliano Sala, family, friends, supporters and soccer players raise funds for the resumption of operations.

Through the GoFoundMe platform and in just under 24 hours, 140,000 euros have already been collected (at 9:15 am in Argentina) and the goal to carry out the campaign is 300,000 euros.

The accident occurred Monday night, but gained international importance Tuesday morning, when France confirmed that the attacker was traveling aboard this plane.

Sala took a private plane to get from Nantes (France) to Cardiff (Wales) to join his new team, Cardiff City, of the Premier League, which had bought 17 million euros. However, contact with the pilot was lost during the crossing of the Channel.

The campaign was created by Sport Cover, the sports representation agency that has managed Sala's career.

Families and footballers, including Lionel Messi, also support social networks with the hashtag #NoDejenDeBuscarlo.

The plane disappeared from the radar and nothing else was known. After four days of intense research, the officials of the commission decided to suspend the tasks, believing that it was impossible for Sala and the pilot, Dave Ibbotson, to be alive.

The Englishman Julian Bray, an aviation specialist, has the theory that the plane sank in Hurd's Deep, a huge 180-meter-deep sea valley. It is a complicated area, with radioactive waste and debris from both world wars.

However, Bray 's theory has no support because there was no raking under the water.
