Brazil Football Team Plane Crash

It has been five years since the plane carrying Follmann and the rest of Brazilian football team Chapecoense Real ran out of fuel on the way to the final match of the South American Cup, slamming into the mountains outside Medellin, Colombia.

The LaMia airlines plane slammed into the mountains outside Medellin November 29, killing most of Brazilian football team Chapecoense Real as they traveled to a match.

The pilot in the plane crash that killed 71 people traveling to Colombia on a Bolivian charter including footballers from Brazil had not flown enough hours to pilot commercial flights, a copilot's attorney said Saturday.

The bodies of 50 players, coaches and staff from a Brazilian football team tragically wiped out in a plane crash in Colombia arrived home Saturday for a massive funeral.

The first of two Brazilian air force planes carrying the remains of a football team killed in a plane crash arrived Saturday in the city of Chapeco in southern Brazil.

Brazilian football team Chapecoense were on their way to Medellin for the biggest match in the club's history: the finals of the Copa Sudamericana, South America's second-biggest club tournament.

A small Brazilian city will hold a massive funeral Saturday to honor its football team, wiped out at the height of their glory in a plane crash that killed 71 people.

An honor guard played taps early as members of Colombia's military loaded five flight crew victims of an air crash that also killed most members of a soccer team onto a cargo plane for the trip back to their native Bolivia.

Air crash investigators in Colombia sought Wednesday to piece together the terrifying final moments aboard a charter jet that crashed while carrying a Brazilian soccer team to the biggest match in its history.

Fans of Brazil's Chapecoense football club whose team was wiped out in a Colombian air crash crammed into the home stadium late Wednesday for tearful prayers around the empty pitch.

It was the culmination of an astonishing climb to the top of South America's soccer world - a modest club from Brazil heading to the finals of a continent-wide tournament. Then came a distress call from the cockpit of the plane carrying the team to Colombia.

The plane crash that wiped out Brazil's Chapecoense football team also killed 20 Brazilian journalists, ranging from veteran commentators to young local reporters.

A plane carrying 81 people, including members of a Brazilian club football team, crashed late Monday near the Colombian city of Medellin after reporting "electrical failures," officials said. 76 people are reportedly dead. Three of the soccer players are among five reported survivors.
