Five aircraft and two lifeboats scoured more than 1,000 square miles on Tuesday but found no traces of the plane.Guernsey Police said the chances of passenger survival were slim, as rescuers resumed their search early on Wednesday morning.The force tweeted: We have resumed searching. Two planes are taking off and will search a targeted area we believe has the highest likelihood of finding anything, based on review of the tides and weather since it went missing.Coastal areas around Alderney and off-lying rocks and islands will also be searched from the air. Updates will be provided once information is available. They then explainedthey were searching based on four possibilities:1. They have landed elsewhere but not made contact.2. They landed on water, have been picked up by a passing ship but not made contact3. They landed on water and made it into the life raft we know was on board4. The aircraft broke up on contact with the water, leaving them in the sea, adding the search area is prioritised on the life raft option.Born in Santa Fe, Argentina, in 1990, Sala came through the Bordeaux academy and made his debut in 20125

John Fitzgerald, chief officer of Channel Islands Air Search, said: I think with the sea temperatures and the sea conditions, the chances of finding anybody alive are reducing all the time.The sea temperatures are very, very cold and just sap the core temperature of anybody in the water very, very quickly.Sala joined Nantes in 2015 and it was here where his career took off5
