United for the last time, this is the Brazilian football team posing together in front of a passenger jet before their doomed flight crashed in Colombia, killing 76 on board.

Sports › Photos: Brazilian Football Team's Plane Crashes In Colombia, 76 Dead. by Explorers(op):
A plane carrying 81 people, including a top Brazilian football team, has crashed on its approach to the city of Medellin in Colombia.
Reports say seven people were pulled alive from the plane but two have since died including the team's goalkeeper.

The chartered plane, carrying top Brazilian football team Chapecoense, crashed outside the city of Medellin killing 76 and leaving just six survivors.


Team members posed together for a picture in Bolivia ahead of take-off as they were travelling to Colombia for the biggest game in the club's history, the Copa Sudamerica final. But their journey came to a devastating end when the jet crashed down in remote mountains at about 10.15pm.

The Avro RJ85 plane, which was carrying nine crew, suffered power failures while flying through the Antioquia Department on its way from Bolivia. Officials said it smashed into a hill and broke in two as reports emerged that the pilot had circled around before crash landing in a desperate bid to burn off fuel.

Just 20 days ago, the same plane had transported the Argentinian football team, including megastars Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria, to Belo Horizonte in Brazil, where they played Brazil in the group stage of the 2018 World Cup.


Heartbreaking images have since emerged online showing devastated players who were not travelling with the Chapecoense squad sitting in the club's empty changing room.

Separate images show two footballers, Defender Alan Ruschel and goalkeeper Danilo Padilha, posing for selfies during the journey from Brazil with Ruschel, 27, telling fans: 'We're coming Colombia.'

‘From the place-making to the two extraordinary attractions that will be in the land, both the Na’vi River Journey as well as Avatar Flight of Passage.

These promise to set new high-watermarks for our experiential magic we give our guests.

’Chapek shared details of the two new signature attractions, Avatar Flight of Passage, where guests will fly over the jungles of Pandora on a Mountain Banshee and Na’vi River Journey, a family-friendly boat ride through the bioluminescent forests.


The latter ride is described as a journey 'down a mysterious, sacred river hidden within the bioluminescent rainforest'.

Canoes 'pass exotic glowing plants and amazing creatures' as 'the fullbeauty of Pandora reveals itself'.

Foreign Affairs › Re: US Navy Seals, The Special Force Having The Most Brutal And Deadly Training. by Explorers(op): 6:24pm On Nov 27, 2016
Hell Week is the defining event of BUD/S training. It is held early in the 3rd week of First Phase before the Navy makes an expensive investment in SEAL operational training.

Hell Week consists of 5 days, 5 nights of cold, wet, brutally difficult operational training with less than four hours of sleep throughout the week.

Hell Week tests physical endurance, mental toughness, pain and cold tolerance, teamwork, attitude, and your ability to perform work under high physical and mental stress, and sleep deprivation.

Above all, it tests determination and desire. On average, only 20% of SEAL candidates make it through Hell Week, the toughest training in the U.S. Military.

Hell Week begins at sundown on Sunday and ends at the end of Friday.

During this time, trainees face continuous training evolutions. During Hell Week, trainees get four meals a day but usually hot meals of unlimited quantities.

Eating hot food is a substitute for being warm and dry. It gives a needed psychological boost to tired trainees, many of whom are nearly sleeping while they eat.

Every evolution during Hell Week involves the team (or boat crew) carrying their boat inflatable rubber Zodiacs over their heads.

Timed exercises, runs, and crawling through mud flats are interspersed throughout the five-and-a-half days.

The largest number of trainees drops out during Hell Week.

This extreme training is critical, though. SEALs on missions must be able to operate efficiently, oblivious to sub-zero temperatures and their own physical comfort. Their lives, as well as the lives of others, may depend on it.

Another evolution is surf torture, also called "cold water conditioning.

" The water temperatures usually hover around 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 C), and never go above 68 degrees F (20 C). From there, trainees may be ordered to do some calisthenics or run a mile and a half down the beach in their wet clothes and boots.

Then, they're ordered back into the surf. Many drills also require that teams carry their rubber boats over their heads as they run from one task to another.

Foreign Affairs › Re: US Navy Seals, The Special Force Having The Most Brutal And Deadly Training. by Explorers(op):
Basic Conditioning is when the going gets rough. This is the phase where most Drops on Request (DOR) happen.

For eight weeks, trainees' days are filled with running, swimming, calisthenics, and learning small-boat operations.

One-to-2 mile ocean swims and running the mother of all obstacle courses are daily, and timed, events.

A trainee's time for these exercises must continuously improve.

Another important part of basic conditioning is drown-proofing. In this evolution, trainees must learn to swim with both their hands and their feet bound.

To pass drown-proofing, trainees enter a 9-foot-deep pool and complete the following steps with their hands and feet tied


Devil's job: bob for 5 minutes, float for 5 minutes, swim 100 meters, bob for 2 minutes, do some forward and backward flips, swim to the bottom of the pool and retrieve an object with their teeth, return to the surface and bob five more times with hands tied to the back.

SEAL mis­sions require detailed planning and precise execution.

SEALs are trained to perform missions that fall into five main categories:

*. Unconventional Warfare(UW) - Using guerilla warfare tactics in battle. Guerilla warfare is characterized by small, mobile combat groups that operate using often "unorthodox" battle methods like destroying enemy supplies, creating diversions, ambushing small enemy units, demolitions, and other "hit and run" types of operations.


*.Foreign Internal Defense(FID) - Training given to foreign nationals in order to build relationships. During Operation Desert Storm, Navy SEALs trained 13 Kuwaiti operators in maritime infiltration techniques in order to set up a secret meeting with local resistance contacts within Iraq-occupied Kuwait City.


*.Direct Action(DA) - Moving against an enemy target.This may include assaults on land- or water-based targets, hostage rescues, ambushes, etc.


*.Counterterrorism(CT) - Includes direct action against terrorist operations, antiterrorist actions for preventing terrorist acts, and protecting citizens and troops.


*.Special Reconnaissance(SR) - Includes conducting preliminary surveys to gather information, manning observation posts, and other types of surveillance, both overt and covert, where the goal is to gather information.This may include gathering hydrographic data (beach and water surveys) for landings or following an enemy unit and reporting it's position.

When SEALs aren't deployed, they're in constant training, both to hone basic skills and to learn new skills and techniques that will make a difference when they are deployed.

The above categories overlap when it comes to actual missions, but these are the basis of SEAL training: to be expert in the skills required to perform these various tasks.

The SEAL acronym stands for Sea, Air, and Land, which identifies the elements in which they operate.

SEALs work in small units often one to two men, but sometimes in a platoon comprised of up to 16.

They are trained to perform specific tasks under any type of circumstance and in any environment.

Their training takes place in the desert, the jungle, in extreme hot and cold weather, and in urban areas.

Foreign Affairs › Re: US Navy Seals, The Special Force Having The Most Brutal And Deadly Training. by Explorers(op): 11:39am On Nov 27, 2016
Over 80 percent of SEAL potentials drop out or quit before finishing the program.

The Navy’s Basic Underwater Demolition Course is the very definition of rigorous but even that still doesn’t adequately describe the amount of mental and physical strength needed to complete each obstacle.

Recruits must endure and excel at tough running, swimming, and rafting routines daily on top of other grueling tasks that stretch each student well beyond human capabilities.

Just the idea of the 132 hours of training during Hell Week is enough to prompt a sailor to ring the class bell 3 times, signaling a permanent stop to his own training.

1.5 miles in 11 minutes. Hmm when I ran 2.45 miles in 14.8 minutes last year in Nigerian police Academy.
This is is different, its like they will be given just 30minutes to perform all the tasks.

Swim 500yards, 42 pushups, 50 sit ups, six pull ups, and run 1.5miles.

From day one in SEAL training, trainees are taught the importance ofteamwork. Focus is not on the individual.

The fact that the SEALs have never left another SEAL behind on a mission is a testament to this belief system.

Throughout their training, they learn more and more why teamwork is necessary in the type of work they will soon be entering.

SEALs are performing tasks that may not be possible for a single man to accomplish, but can be possible for a team composed of men who have the same training and skills.

Their success depends on what they can do together as a team.
