All right, listen to are here today with us in the pod.

0:31.8

We have James Horncastle.

0:33.5

Hello, James.

0:34.0

Good morning to you, James.

0:35.2

Good morning to you, Daniel's story.

0:36.7

Good morning to you.

0:37.3

And good morning to Tom Williams. Good morning, James. Tom, you're, James. Good morning to you, James. And good morning to Tom Williams.

0:39.0

Good morning, James. Tom, you're just back from Nant. Yes. Where by now all hope is gone of finding a million of Sala and his pilot on Monday, David Ibbotson.

0:49.3

Sadly, yes. I was there for a day or so, and the Nfans were clinging to hope as best they could,

0:56.8

but obviously right from the start a very difficult situation and the longer time has gone on,

1:01.8

the more, you know, the more improbable the chances of finding the pair of them have become.

1:07.2

So yeah, I think, you know, I suspect the sort of current feeling in Nantes at the moment is they're just kind of waiting for confirmation of what's happened rather than clinging to that hope.

1:15.9

And people have continued to drop by.

1:44.2

I was there. a florist around the corner to buy a yellow flower and they'd all sold out all the florists in the

2:01.1

city and people have continued to drop by. I was there yesterday morning and there were still people

2:06.8

turning up, putting down flowers and, you know, saying a little prayer. So yeah, very, very solemn,

2:12.2

very difficult situation. Yeah, it's terrible news. With this chilling aspect of the stories of the message that

2:20.2

he recorded before takeoff where he says, I'm on a plane that looks like it's going to fall apart.

2:25.3

When you look at the plane, it does seem, I mean, to me it seems surprising that a player flying
