Details
Yesterday at 21:56 local time in Colombia, in the La Ceja area (about 30 kilometers southeast of the city of Medellin), an RJ-85 plane with players and coaching staff of the Chapecoense team disappeared from radar. There were 72 passengers and 8 crew members on board.
In addition to the players and coaches, there were club executives, three guests and 21 journalists on the plane.
The plane was heading to Medellin, where the team was supposed to play in the first final match of the Copa Sudamericana against the local Atlético Nacional.
Survivors
Rescuers found no traces of fire at the crash site. The absence of an explosion and ignition contributed to the fact that not everyone died in the disaster.
There was initially no clear information about the casualties. According to AFP, 25 people were immediately found. 5 survivors were reported.
According to journalist Pablo Medina Uribe, three players were taken to the hospital. These are defender Alan Ruschel (he will likely be paralyzed from the waist down) and goalkeepers Marcos Danilo and Jackson Folman (leg amputee).

At 22:00 (4 minutes after the plane disappeared from radar), the plane's crew "declared an emergency" and reported "electrical problems." This happened as the plane was descending and was preparing to land in Medellin. Then contact with the plane was lost. Rescuers flew to the site of the alleged crash, but heavy fog complicated the search for the crash site.
According to Flightradar, the plane occupied a holding pattern over a mountainous area before landing and circled twice, likely due to technical problems, at an altitude of 21,000 feet (6.4 kilometers). The RJ-85 then left the holding area and began to descend. The latest data was recorded by the Flightradar service when the plane was at an altitude of 15,550 feet (4.7 km).
Almost the entire core team of the Brazilian football club Chapecoense, heading to Colombian Medellin for the first final match of the Copa Sudamericana with Atlético Nacional, died in a plane crash that occurred on Tuesday night over Colombian territory. There were 81 people on board, including Chapecoense players, team support staff, journalists and crew members. However, by some miracle, five of them managed to survive. This may help to quickly determine the causes of the tragedy. At the moment, there are two main versions: electronics failure and fuel exhaustion.
Catastrophe
On Monday night, about 30 km from Medellin, a BAe 146 plane of the Bolivian airline LaMia crashed. There were a total of 81 people on board, including almost the entire core team of the Brazilian football club Chapecoense, which was heading to Medellin, where the first final match of the Copa Sudamericana (the second most important club tournament in South America after the Copa Libertadores) was scheduled for December 1. in which the Brazilians had to confront the Colombian Atlético Nacional. In addition to the players, coaches and members of the team's support staff, there were also 21 journalists and nine crew members on board.
According to Colombian authorities, at approximately 22:00 local time, the crew of the ship, at that time located at an altitude of approximately 4,500 m, issued a distress signal. He soon disappeared from radar. The rescuers, taking into account the circumstances, in particular the fact that the plane crashed in a mountainous and wooded area, as well as the fact that there was heavy rain in the crash zone, managed to arrive at the scene of the disaster quite quickly. It soon became clear that there were survivors of the plane crash. Among them were two team goalkeepers - Danilo and Jackson Vollman, defenders Alan Ruschel and Elihu Zampier, as well as one of the journalists and a flight attendant.
The presence of survivors of the disaster allows us to hope that the investigation into the causes of the tragedy will proceed faster than usual. At the moment, Colombian authorities have practically ruled out the possibility of pilot error. This is prompted by the fact that the crew, even before the plane disappeared from the radar, managed to report that the plane’s electronic equipment was failing. In addition, a flight attendant who survived the crash reported that the flight was normal, but at some point all four engines stopped working at once. In his opinion, it looked like the plane simply ran out of fuel.
Note that the BAe 146 that crashed was produced in 1999. It has been in operation by LaMia Airlines since 2013, and during this time this particular aircraft regularly carried out transportation football teams, including the Argentina national team or the same Atlético Nacional. At the airport in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz, from where he was traveling (Brazilian aviation authorities did not give the Bolivian company permission to fly a charter flight to Colombia, citing the fact that such flights should be carried out by either Brazilian or Colombian carriers), they said that the pre-flight inspection did not reveal no problem.
After the disaster became known, Brazilian authorities announced in the country three days of mourning. In turn, the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) has canceled all matches played under its auspices until further notice. Of course, this also applies to the finals of the South American Cup, which now definitely will not take place. Well, it is possible that Chapecoense will be declared the winner. At least, the management of Atlético Nacional already made such a proposal yesterday.

According to official data, it was discovered 6 survivors, including three football players - defender No, goalkeeper Jackson and defender Alana Ruschela.
One of possible reasons Plane crashes are caused by fuel shortages.
Football club "Chapecoense"(literal translation of the name - Football Association of the city of Chapeco) was founded on May 10, 1973 when the clubs merged "Atlético Chapecoense" And "Independente", five-time champion State of Santa Catarina (1977, 1996, 2007, 2011, 2016), two-time Santa Catarina Cup winner (1979, 2006), Serie B silver medalist (2013), Serie C bronze medalist (2012), Serie D bronze medalist ( 2009).

It is also reported that the same plane transported the Argentina national team for the match with Brazil (0:3) in qualifying tournament World Championship 2018.
Brazil has declared three days of mourning, and the state of Santa Catarina has declared 30 days of mourning. The celebration of Christmas and New Year is in question.

Young Chapecoense fan.
In Colombia, not far from Medellin, a plane carrying 72 passengers crashed, including football players from the Brazilian club Chapecoense, who were to take part in the first final match of the Copa Sudamericana against the Colombian Atlético Nacional.
Right now, 75 people are known to have died. Famous full list people who got on board - in addition to the football players and the plane crew (there were 9 crew members), there were the heads of Chapecoense, the coaching staff, technical staff, journalists and honored guests. Among the passengers was the son of Paulo Paixao, a former CSKA physical training coach.
What team crashed?
Chapecoense is a little-known team in Russia; it does not have players familiar to our fans. Chapecoense languished at the bottom of Serie D for a long time, left it in 2009, and in 7 years reached the final of the Copa Sudamericana. This fall, Chapecoense reached such a high point for the first time in history. The match in Colombia was supposed to be the most important in the club's history...
How did this happen?
Citing Colombian sources, Brazil's Globo reported that the plane lost contact with the ground shortly after midnight and crashed 30 km before its planned arrival. Air traffic controllers lost contact with the pilots as the plane flew over the cities of La Ceja and Aberhorral. The missing plane took off at 15:35 local time from Sao Paulo and landed in Eastern Bolivia, in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The plane crashed in the city of La Union, 30 km from Medellin.
It did not explode, largely thanks to the efforts of the crew - the pilots knew that the plane was running out of fuel and circled over the area. If not for this, an explosion would have been inevitable.
The first photographs have already been received from the scene.
Why did this happen?
Mayor of La Ceja Elkin Ospina stated that the cause of the plane crash was a lack of fuel. Another version, in the official release of the aviation authorities, states that the plane crashed due to an electronics failure.
What was the team flying on?
Chapecoense was flying on a charter aircraft CP-2933. At the beginning of the month, the Argentina national team flew on it.
During the fall, the plane split in half. It is important that SR-2933 has already suffered 10 plane crashes, most of them during landing.
What do they say at the scene?
The rescue operation at Medellin airport is being carried out by more than 90 rescuers from the nearby cities of La Union, Rionegro, El Carmen de Vibroal and La Ceja. Heavy rain complicates the situation. A state of emergency has been declared in the city, and Air Force helicopters are searching for surviving passengers. “It’s hard to find survivors, it’s a wooded area,” he says Hugo Botero Lopez, Mayor of La Union.
“We are working with local authorities in connection with the emergency situation that occurred with the Chapecoense aircraft,” the airport wrote on Twitter.
What do they write in Brazil?
Chapecoense published a short message on official page on Facebook: “Given the conflicting reports coming from different journalistic sources regarding the crash of the plane carrying Chapecoense players, we refrain from commenting and await official statements from the Colombian air authorities. May God be with our athletes, leaders, journalists and other members of the delegation.”
Flamengo's official Twitter account added the Chapecoense logo to its avatar and wrote: "The whole nation is with you."
Are there any survivors?
Yes. Defender taken to La Ceja hospital Alan Ruschel, rescued from the wreckage of the plane. It is reported that Alan has multiple broken bones, hips, and lacerations to the head. At the hospital, he asked the doctors to keep his wedding ring and inquired about the condition of his loved ones. His wife, Amanda Ruschel, wrote on Instagram: "Thank God Alan is in hospital in a stable condition."
The second survivor is the Chapecoense goalkeeper. Danilo Padilla. It’s surprising that before the flight, Rushel posted a photo of himself on Instagram - just with Danilo. Third - Jackson Vollmann. WITH serious injury Head defender Neto was hospitalized.
Another survivor already taken to the hospital is a flight attendant. Jimena Suarez.
Another 9 Chapecoense players, according to Globo Esporte, did not fly to the match and escaped the plane crash.
