Chapecoense Air Crash: Pilot 'was Warned Over Fuel' by gentle136(m): 10:40am On Dec 02, 2016
The pilot of a charter plane that crashed in
Colombia on Monday had been warned before
taking off from an airport in Bolivia that he
might not have enough fuel, a report says. An airport official raised the concern after checking
the plane's flight plan, Bolivia's Deber newspaper said. Seventy-one people died in the crash, including
members of a Brazilian football team. Six people
survived. Bodies of the victims are due to be repatriated to
Brazil. Colombian authorities have said evidence is growing
that the British-made BAE 146 Avro RJ85 aircraft ran
out of fuel as it tried to land at Medellin airport. Experts
say it was flying at, or very near, its maximum range. In a leaked tape, the pilot, Miguel Quiroga, can be
heard warning of a "total electric failure" and "lack of
fuel".
