November, 2016, the team was traveling to Medellin to face Atletico in the Copa Sudamericana finals when its chartered plane from Bolivia crashed after having run out of gas just a few minutes before landing.





This is the emotional moment three Brazilian footballers who survived a devastating plane crash that killed 77 passengers, 19 of their team mates returned to the scene of the disaster.

Chapecoense goalkeeper Jackson Follmann, who lost part of his leg in the accident, and players Helio Zampier Neto and Alan Ruschel were among six team members who survived the crash on 28 November last year, on a hillside near Medellin international airport in Colombia.

The club's first team were on a charter flight travelling to play the first leg of the 2016 Copa Sudamericana final against Atlético Nacional, a match that was seen as the biggest in the history of the club, when their plane ran out of gas and crashed.

Last night, the three players returned to the still-scarred hillside where a Brazilian flag, flowers and a makeshift shrine have been left in memory of the 77 passengers and crew who were killed.
