According to the latest information, 15 passengers were able to escape.

The mayor of La Secha, Elkin Ospina, told the agency that "the plane fell near Medellin due to lack of fuel."

Is it because of a lack of fuel ????
There are currently 13 survivors.

I read the news, there was no word about fuel, otherwise I would sit in a more accessible and suitable place for landing.

.

They were born in a shirt, God forbid, such an experience.

[Giant thought]

We offer our condolences to all the relatives of the victims. As you can see, there’s enough mess there, to admit that there’s only enough fuel for half the way can only a real nerd allow.

[Sterlya]

for lack of fuel? So they would ask our “footballers” to refuel. The worst would be able to refuel so that they could fly around the Earth 100 times.
Such a team. Very sorry.

[Terminolol]

Why is this ???
And where are the players?

[Stas157]

Before takeoff forgot to refuel? Incomprehensible story. British Aerospace Avro RJ85 crashed. It is his Irish company City Jet that replaces with our Superjet.

[Terminolol]

The fact that I forget to refuel I just won’t believe it; rather, the blonde will forget to fill up her honestly earned car. There are technical services of the airport, there are pilots, there is automatic warning long before the engine stops.

And how does this news relate to VO?

[The black]

It is reported that there are survivors. Six or ten people. There is a rescue operation. Good luck in saving people ... I hope to survive as much as possible ...

God bless the souls of the dead untimely reposed, and give strength and speedy healing to the sick and their speedy recovery!

By captivity you will become a fatalist. Media reports that several football players did not fly for various reasons with the team. Relatives of the victims of condolences.

Yes, when Pakhtakor crashed in 1979, O. Bazilevich was the coach. Bazilevich himself accidentally did not get on that flight. It's not meant to be.

[Altona]

And what about the fuel that was poured into the water? And if you cut circles over the airfield or leave for a spare? I have no words. A huge tragedy, remembering our "Locomotive". And in Soviet times "Pakhtakor".

“The plane crashed near Medellin due to lack of fuel”

Two Chapecoense goalkeepers survived Brazilian club goalkeeper Jackson Folman survived the crash, ESPN reports. Earlier it was reported that his colleague, goalkeeper Marcos Danilo, and defender Alan Rushel also survived. According to RCN radio, Rushel was admitted to the hospital with multiple fractures and head wounds.

There is a video of the air situation until the last minutes.

The mayor of La Secha, Elkin Ospina, told the agency that "the plane fell near Medellin due to lack of fuel."

Misunderstandings. What type of aircraft? The lack of fuel is amazing, rather then the plane was faulty and there was a leak. Although they could confuse pounds with kilograms when refueling. This has already happened.

[Evgen2x]

I agree, it’s generally incomprehensible, I overdid all the news feeds, nowhere is there an airplane type, what kind of secret ??? Usually they write Boeing right away ... Airbus ... and then some kind of military secret.

[Alex_Tug]

It seems from the pictures Embraer-190. (I will check later on the materials of the FAK). The reason is standard, the pilot set the kilograms on the 3rd screen. Tankers poured in pounds, i.e. 2 times with a trifle less. Autopilots thought that they had enough fuel and allowed takeoff.
