Plane crash killed 76 people out of 81, the team were on their way to their first ever final and were a fourth division club not too long ago.

I said this on Twitter but this club is a minnow from Brazil. They were in the 4th tier 4 years ago and they've worked so hard to get this far to the Copa Sudamericana final. They worked so hard for their small town of Chapeco. You look the the celebration of the fans and the players after they beat San Lorenzo in the semi-final and it just makes you teary eyed. What a horrible tragedy. Also, great gesture from Atletico Nacional to request the trophy be awarded to Chapecoense.

Rest in peace champions

Just seen the video of the dressing room celebrations of them reaching the final. Heartbreaking.

Just read also that Brazilian clubs are going to loan players with no fees.

Awful tragedy, let's not forget those that died that weren't part of the team too.

RIP

The team they were due to play in the final has submitted a request for the club to be named honorary champions which is a really nice touch.

No they haven't. These rumours seem to be springing up all over the place on Twitter, which I find really strange. What sort of person would make up a lie like that?

Same goes for the rumours about Cristiano Ronaldo donating €3m.

Maybe someone thinks by saying it it might put pressure on some of the rumoured donators to actually give something?
Which is still a c*** move.
Ronaldinho should offer to play for them.

If G Dragon ever made it in to the politics forum, you'd be bang in trouble for that remark.

It simply ran out of fuel according to the media. How can something like that be overlooked ?
Or did it have a fuel leak

I read somewhere that the plane was either Venezuelan or Bolivian. If it was Venezuelan then it doesn't surprise me. Venezuela is a country that can barely keep its power running for 15 minutes.

I do believe it was Bolivian though.

It was Bolivian. Think the pilot was offered a refuelling stop but declined. There would normally be a refuelling stop at a different airport but because the plane was late setting off that airport was closed and the pilot decided not to divert to another one.
