Emiliano Sala crash: Plane plunged 2,400 feet in just 15 seconds before crash and split into three parts on impact
New pictures of the late football star Emiliano Sala's doomed plane were released on Monday, showing the wreckage of the aircraft lying 220 ft down on the bed of the English Channel.
A latest report of the crash also revealed that the British pilot flying the plane lost altitude rapidly in the last seconds before the crash and desperately tried but failed to 'climb rapidly' before hitting the water.
Investigators recovered the footballer's body earlier this month from the wreckage of the aircraft that crashed into the English Channel with Sala and pilot David Ibbotson on board.
The plane's wreckage and a body inside it was spotted nearly two weeks after the aircraft's disappearance. The Piper Malibu plane was found by a privately-funded search crew on February 3 after it disappeared from radar over the English Channel on January 21.
