The search for Emiliano Sala and his pilot is abandoned despite pleas from Sala’s sister

As the sister of Emiliano Sala pleaded for authorities to continue to search for her brother and the pilot of their missing plane, the search of the English Channel and its islands has ended after three days, with an official calling their chances of survival “extremely remote.”

Sala’s sister, Romina, begged in a BBC Wales Facebook live post, “Please, please, please don’t stop the search. We understand the effort but please don’t stop the search. For us, they are still alive. It is difficult to express our feelings at the moment because everything is really hard.
