[spathiphyllum]

Search has stopped for Emiliano Sala, but we're still looking for Madeline McCann, 12 years later..

LOL....good point spath.

[Sqad]

BUT...hang on......he's an Argie.

[spathiphyllum]

He disappeared 21 January 2019. you know... 4 days ago? I think the search should have lasted at least a week.

I guess the major difference is that we know for sure now that Emiliano, and the pilot, are brown bread. No one could survive being in the winter seas that long.

[spathiphyllum]

But he played in the Premier League for Cardiff City

[spathiphyllum]

YMB, that is true.

I’m not sure about the McCann case but poor Emiliano Sala pretty obviously was lost in the English Channel.
As false equivalencies go this is right up there.

[Sqad]

spath......wrong.....he NEARLY played in the Premier League for Cardiff City.

Bet his parents are not middle class media poster girls and boys

"I think the search should have lasted at least a week."

Why? Do you think someone could survive in the sea, even in a small life vessel for that long in the winter?

I think the searchers know far more about rescue than you or I Spath so I will go with their decision. Sad though it may be for their families there is no hope now.

Searching for lost people. Seems quite equal.

[spathiphyllum]

Just one we're assuming is dead and the other people refuse to believe she is.

"Why? Do you think someone could survive in the sea, even in a small life vessel for that long in the winter? "

I think it's important to get the body regardless of its condition to the family can grieve and morn.

[ichkeria]

Of course it isn’t. I’m not a cheerleader for the McCann case by any means but using it to criticise the calling off of a search for a missing aircraft is pretty poor

[spathiphyllum]

I'm not using it at all, i'm simply making a comparison.

[naomi24]

Some spiteful comments here.

[ichkeria]

There is no comparison

[spathiphyllum]

Naomi, so?

[naomi24]

Of course there's no comparison.
