Kaizero Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/29/plane-carrying-brazilian-footballers-team-chapecoense-crashes-en-route-to-medellin Authorities are responding to an emergency after a plane with 72 people on board crashed on its way to Medellin international airport in Colombia. The airport said on its Twitter account that the aircraft had departed from Bolivia. Local media reported that the charter aircraft was carrying members of the football team Chapecoense from Brazil, which is scheduled to play Copa Sudamerica finals against Atletico Nacional on Wednesday in Medellin. Medellin’s Mayor Federico Gutierrez said that it is possible there are survivors. “It’s a tragedy of huge proportions,” Gutierrez told Blu Radio on his way to the site in a mountainous area outside the city where the chartered aircraft is believed to have crashed shortly before midnight local time. He said ambulances and rescuers were on their way. It is not clear what caused the crash. Medellin airport later confirmed that the aircraft, which departed from Bolivia, was transporting the Chapecoense soccer team from southern Brazil.

Shak Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Fucking hell. Remember flying into that airport a few years back and thinking how fucking mental it was to be weaving your way into an airport built into mountains. Can only imagine how difficult it must be trying to get emergency services out there to help the survivors. Just awful news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
