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".
