Brazilian soccer team’s plane crashes in Colombia; 75 dead
Associated Press
LA UNION, Colombia —
A chartered plane carrying a
Brazilian soccer team to the
biggest match of its history
crashed into a Colombian hill-
side and broke into pieces, kill-
ing 75 people and leaving six
survivors, Colombian officials
said today.
The British Aerospace 146
short-haul plane, operated by
a charter airline with roots in
Venezuela, declared an emer-
gency and lost radar contact
just before 10 p.m. Monday
because of an electrical failure,
aviation authorities said.
The aircraft, which had
departed from Santa Cruz,
Bolivia, was carrying the up
and coming Chapecoense soc-
cer team from southern Brazil
for Wednesday’s first leg of a
two-game Copa Sudamericana
final against Atletico Nacio-
nal of Medellin — the conti-
nent’s second-most-important
championship.
“What was supposed to be
a celebration has turned into
a tragedy,” Medellin Mayor
Federico Gutierrez said from
the search and rescue com-
mand center.
The club said in a brief
statement on its Facebook
page, “May God accompany
our athletes, officials, journal-
ists and other guests traveling
with our delegation.”

zilian first division soccer club Chapecoense team that was on it’s way for a Copa Sudamericana final match against Colombia’s Atletico Nacional.
World of grief
Expressions of grief poured
in from all over the soccer
world. South America’s fed-
eration canceled all scheduled
matches in a show of solidar-
ity, Real Madrid’s squad inter-
rupted its training for a minute
of silence and Argentina leg-
end Diego Maradona sent his
condolences to the victims’
families over Facebook.
Rescuers working through
the night were initially heart-
ened after pulling three pas-
sengers alive from the wreck-
age. But as the hours passed,
heavy rainfall and low visibil-
ity grounded helicopters and
slowed efforts to reach the
crash site.
At daybreak, dozens of
bodies were quickly col-
lected into white bags while
rescuers scavenged through
pieces of the plane’s fuse-
lage strewn across the muddy
mountainside.
Images broadcast on local
television showed three pas-
sengers arriving to a local hos-
pital in ambulances on stretch-
ers and covered in blankets
connected to an IV. Among

the survivors was Chapeco-
ense defender Alan Ruschel,
who doctors said suffered spi-
nal injuries.
Two goalkeepers, Danilo
and Jackson Follmann, as well
as a journalist traveling with
the team and a Bolivian flight
attendant, were found alive
in the wreckage. But Danilo

was later reported as dead,
and authorities said another
defender, Helio Zampier, had
survived amid a confusion of
sometimes conflicting early
reports.
The aircraft is owned by
LaMia, a company with roots
in Venezuela and that has a
close relationship with sev-
eral premier South American
squads.
Argentina’s state-run news
agency said the plane involved
in the crash had transported
Barcelona striker Lionel Messi
and the national team this
month from Brazil to Colom-
bia between World Cup qual-
ifier matches. The airliner also
reportedly transported Venezu-
ela’s national squad and sev-
eral top teams from Bolivia in
the past.
LaMia’s website, which is
no longer online, said it oper-
ated three 146 Avro short-haul
jets made by British Aero-
space and with a maximum
range of around 2,965 kilo-
meters (1,600 nautical miles)
— about the same as the dis-
tance between Santa Cruz and
Medellin, the route it was fly-
ing when it went down.
Alfredo Bocanegra, the
head of Colombia’s aviation
authority, said initial reports
suggest the aircraft was suf-
fering electrical problems
although investigators were
also looking into an account
from one of the survivors
that the plane had run out of
fuel about five minutes from
its expected landing at Jose
Maria Cordova airport outside
Medellin.
Fairy tale season
The team, from the small
city of Chapeco, was in the
middle of a fairy tale season. It
joined Brazil’s first division in

2014 for the first time since the
1970s and made it last week to
the Copa Sudamericana finals
— the equivalent of the UEFA
Europa League tournament —
after defeating two of Argen-
tina’s fiercest squads, San
Lorenzo and Independiente, as
well as Colombia’s Junior.
“This morning I said good-
bye to them and they told
me they were going after the
dream, turning that dream into
reality,” Chapecoense board
member told TV Globo. “The
dream was over early this
morning.”
The team is so modest that
tournament organizers ruled
that its 22,000-seat arena was
too small to host the final
match, which was moved to a
stadium 300 miles (480 kilo-
meters) to the north in the city
of Curitiba.
“This is unbelievable, I am
walking on the grass of the sta-
dium and I feel like I am float-
ing,” Andrei Copetti told the
AP. “No one understands how
a story that was so amazing
could suffer such a devastating
reversal. For many people here
reality has still not struck.”
