Sheikh Ahmed's plane has crashed in a lake in Morocco. Pilot was recovered alive, but Ahmed is still missing. Pray for his safety.:sad:

The managing director of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), considered the world's biggest sovereign wealth fund, is missing after a glider plane crash in Morocco, the state news agency WAM said on Friday. Sheikh Ahmed bin Zayed al-Nahayan is a younger brother of the ruler of Abu Dhabi, who is also president of the United Arab Emirates, but is not immediately in line for succession. Sheikh Ahmed was No. 27 on Forbes list of the world's most powerful people last year and is in his early 40s. The magazine described him as "elusive" and he rarely gives interviews.

Have they found Sheikh Ahmed yet? Any news?
 
I hope Sheikh Ahmed is found very soon and that he would be ok.
 
UAE rescue team joined the moroccan team for searching for Sheikh Ahmed.
UAE team joins Morocco search for Sheikh Ahmed - Emirates Business 24|7

I dont understand how they havent found him yet, it's just a lake and an artificial one that is not even the sea!!!

I hope they will find him soon and alife inchallah.

The lake is said to be very muddy and very dark which makes it harder to search not forgetting how big the lake is.

They have some of the best international teams on the search accoridng to UAE reports.

he has died. God rest his soul :(
 
Allah Yarhma, My condolence to his family and to the UAE people.
 
Yes, it is all true. Sheikh Khalifa confirmed the Death of Sheikh Ahmed. Sheikh Ahmed bin Zayed has been found. There is a three day mourning period in UAE.
*His body was in the lake...
My heart goes out to his family especially his 3 year-old Zayed. Sheikh Ahmed was 41, he had gotten married in 03' I believe. Some say the Spanish pilot he was with, was a friend, but those may be just rumors. May god let Sheikh Ahmed's soul rest in peace.
 
well really sad news , RIP , but it seems he can't swim , it is a lake at the end .!

The Spanish guy was the co-pilot/pilot who always was flying with the Sheikh.

Sheikh Ahmed was a good swimmer.
Many think as the accident happened he went unconscious and that would make sense.

Sheikh Ahmed bin zayed is known to be a good swimmer but they said he was injured before falling in the lake...:ermm:

He was a really good swimmer, to my belief I think he liked sports. He liked to snowboard. It is said he was unconscious. Plus there was much rain in Morocco before. The water levels were much higher. Plus, if a plane crashed in the water the situation is much more different.
 
thanks for the info ; will i had the feeling that they would find him alive , i was touched by his pic he seemed younger than his age
 
There have been alot of accidents with these types of planes. They should be banned.
My heart goes out to his family, friends and especially to the people of Abu Dhabi. This is the second tragic accident for the royal family.
 
Very tragic news.
God Bless his Soul and May he rest In Peace !
 
How awful, my condolences. May he rest in peace.
 
Rest in peace sheik Ahmed and my condoleances to his family.
 
Here is a link to those who want to see more pics of Sheikh Ahmed.
Few pictures...
He was a nice individual to my understanding, a real generous man. Loved sports, seen with snowboards. He thought things out very well in the ADIA. His death was SUCH a heartbreaker not just for me, but for the entire UAE. I wish his wife, Um Zayed', and his mother Sheikha Moza best of luck.
I didnt name his wifes name because I thought it would be a little inappropriate considering what she is going through. If anyone else wants to tell her name, go ahead =)
 
Our hearts go out to his friends and family at this terrible tragedy. May God continue to watch and protect them. They will continue to be in our prayers.
 
My condolences to his family and the peoples of the UAE upon this sad moment in your history.
 
Sheikh Ahmeds burial is in a half an hour... At Asr prayer. It will be at Sheikh Zayed mosque... Then Sheikh Khalifa will accept condolences.
