Players from the Brazilian team Chapecoense were scheduled to meet the Colombians from Atlético Nacional on November 31. But the plane never reached its destination - the Bolivian Lamia airliner crashed near the city.

Jorge Cruz, Mayor of La Union:“The crash site is located five minutes from Jose Maria Cordova Airport. Now we know of six survivors, I believe that no one else will be found alive.”

On board were 22 football players, 28 team management members, 22 journalists and 9 crew members - a total of 81 people. The rescue operation continued throughout the night.

According to preliminary information, the crew reported problems with electrical equipment. There is also a version that the airliner ran out of fuel. The airliner received priority landing in the city of Medellin, but could not make it to the airport.

A civilian airliner carrying members of the Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense crashed in Colombia. Military expert, instructor pilot Andrey Krasnoperov told the correspondent Federal News Agency O possible reasons plane crashes.

According to preliminary information, the civil aircraft (model and number are still unknown - editor's note) was heading from Bolivia to Medellin and disappeared from radar screens in the area of ​​the Colombian city of Rionegro.

During the flight, the aircraft commander informed dispatchers at the nearby Medellin Cordoba airport about an acute shortage of fuel. The plane was given priority for landing, but it was never able to reach the air harbor.

“To begin with, we note that the plane flying from Bolivia may not have undergone major repairs for a long time due to its heavy workload. In addition, we do not know how the plane was maintained, so some kind of technical malfunction could have played a role. But the situation with fuel is more real here. If the plane took off with its minimum remaining, it might well not have made it. The amount of fuel must be calculated by the navigator, and if you consider that there are no such on planes now, there is only a left pilot and a right pilot, and the role of the navigator is performed by a computer, the situation becomes possible. I remember there was a case when a squadron of Tu-22 aircraft was flying, and during the flight the navigator thought that there might not be enough fuel - they just sat down. It should have been the same here,” Krasnoperov emphasized.

It was initially reported that everyone on board died during the crash. However, later, Radio 360 disseminated information that some managed to survive - rescuers found at least six survivors at the scene of the disaster. It should be noted that in Medellin the Chapecoense team was supposed to play in the first match of the Copa Sudamericana final against the Colombian Atlético Nacional. The game was scheduled for the evening of November 30th.

“If the ship’s commander reported that there was a shortage of fuel, he, of course, had to make a decision and land at the nearest airfield, but apparently they wanted to hold out, the human factor. About the same thing happened near Smolensk, when the Polish president crashed - we also had to fly to an alternate airfield. And here we have what we have. In this case, the rush factor came into play - the athletes, the football players had a game, the coach said “to get there by any means.” Landing at another airfield was not allowed, otherwise plans would be disrupted and everything else. Well, such moments happen in flight practice. When the “must” command prevails over flight safety,” the expert concluded.

Let us remind you that the Brazilian football club Chapecoense plays in top division Brazilian Championship. The team captain is a midfielder Kleber Santana, who played, in particular, for Atletico Madrid.
