You have to feel for Cardiff. The highly rated kid from Nantes seemingly dead in an air crash and Oumar turns up safe and well

Is it a coincidence Oumar had a bag of engine parts for a small aircraft in his locker this morning?

If they dont find any bodies can Cardiff even claim on their insurance?

A minor detail at this point of course, but Jesus.

They also might not have paid the full fee yet and therefore Nantes might take a hit too...

this could all be very messy.

but that is unimportant at this time.

From a previous life, unless an insurance company and/or the police suspect fraud, then they generally act on the probability of a death in such circumstances.

"Such circumstances" meaning a possibility of a delay in finding and ID'ing a body. So, if it is proved he was on the plane, (tick), and enough evidence suggests said plane crashed, (tick), I would expect a swift pay out.

If he was insured of course.....

Really what @roydo mentions.

If the coroner has 'reason to believe' that there has been a fatality (based on certain prerequisites), then they can investigate and make a ruling.

Yet, the insurer is within their own rights to pay out earlier if the evidence suggests that a payout is necessary against their own criteria and the evidence at hand.

He's got a locker?

I know it’s perhaps partially disrespectful but also sadly an interesting conversation. So much will depend on whether it was deemed safe and flying was approved but also the finer details of the contract may be an issue size of the plane etc. let’s face it a lot of players can’t ski or motorbike so the terms of the insurance could well be very restrictive.

Ultimately nothing confirmed but it does it seem like an absolute tragedy almost especially given he was going home to say goodbye to teammates and had just secured his and his families future .

In a crazy way that would be the best outcome left now, say the player had insured himself and then he and the pilot parachuted out of the plane and got in a boat to sail to Panama where their newly enriched relatives go to live with them.

Although I doubt a player just about to go to a premier league club had any cash problems. So that ends that hope.

I'm pretty sure that this oft-quoted stat is in terms of per mile, as opposed to per journey. As a form of transport though, there's no way out when something goes wrong, unlike coasting to a halt after engine failure.

There is loads of contingencies for things that go wrong, tighter safety regs than any other form of travel. That being said I'm a horribly nervous flyer!!

I know it's almost a certainty but I don't agree with clubs holding vigil's and laying flowers just yet. I mean both men could still be floating on a wreckage in the sea. Hopefully that's the case and although not probable I think some people are jumping to conclusions too quickly.

Well vigils can be held in the hope that they are found alive. Like with those Chilean miners a few tears ago.

Have the rs put out an official staement yet?

Travelling by air is defo safer. You only think it isn't because when it happens which isn't often it is all over the news. Think about how many car accidents there are each day, be loads.

There's literally millions of cars on the road at any one time. Probably tens of millions of road journeys every day in this country. Probably about 1000 plane journeys.

Again using those we term as celebrities as the control group, we all know several hundred who have been killed in planes and even if we add all the other forms of transport together it probably doesn't equal the plane deaths.

Also to be clear i'm specifically referring to the light aircraft, not the passenger airlines. There's five small plane crashes a day in America alone.

At this time of year, especially, they'd be dead of hypothermia within minutes.
