A chartered airplane with a Brazil first department soccer group damaged near Medellin while on its way to the finals of a local competition, eliminating 71 individuals, Colombian regulators said. Six individuals live through.

The English Aerospace 146 short-haul airplane, managed by a rental air travel known as LaMia, announced a critical and lost mouth contact just before 10pm on Thursday (0300 GMT) because of failing, aircraft regulators said.

The airplane, which had left from Santa Fitzgibbons, Bolivia, was moving the Chapecoense group from southeast South america for the first leg of a two-game Copa Sudamericana last against Atletico Nacional of Medellin, which was due to be performed on Wed.

"What was expected to be an event has turned into a critical," Medellin gran Federico Gutierrez said from the search and save control center.

Dozens of rescuers working through the night were originally heartened after taking three travelers in existence from the remains.

But as the hours approved, and heavy rain fall and low exposure based choppers and complicated initiatives to reach the mountainside accident site, the atmosphere soured to the point that regulators had to lock up until sunset what was by then a body restoration function.

Among the heirs was a Chapecoense defensive player known as Mike Ruschel, who physicians said experienced backbone accidents. Two goalies, Marcos Danilo and Fitzgibbons Follmann, as well as a part of the crew's delegation and a Bolivian journey worker, also live through the accident. However Danilo approved away a brief period of time later.

Also  murdered was Tiago de Rocha Viera, a 22-year-old forward. A video distribute online of Viera's excited reaction to learning one 7 days before the disaster happened that his wife Graziele was pregnant with their first child.

The airplane was carrying 68 travelers and nine team members. Four other individuals listed on the journey reveal did not panel the airplane. Twenty-one of the travelers  were reporters, of whom just one live through.
Local radio said the same British-made airplane transferred Argentina's nationwide team for a coordinate recently in South america, and previously had transferred Venezuela's nationwide group.

The black containers were found, and could play an important role as researchers try and determine what triggered the accident.

Alfredo Bocanegra, the head of Colombia's aircraft power, said initial reviews suggest the airplane was suffering electric problems although researchers were also looking into an account from one of the heirs that the airplane had run out of energy about five minutes from its expected getting at Jose Nancy Cordova airport outside Medellin.
The group, from the little town of Chapeco, was in the middle of a tale season. It joined up with Brazil's first department in 2014 for the new since the Nineteen seventies and created it last 7 days to the Copa Sudamericana last - the same as the Uefa Europa Group competition - after beating two of Argentina's fiercest teams, San Lorenzo and Independiente, as well as Colombia's Younger.

"This early morning I said farewell to them and they said they were going after the desire, turning that desire into truth," a Chapecoense panel participant informed TV Globo. "The desire was over early this early morning."

The group is so moderate that its 22,000-seat field was decided by competition planners too little to variety the ultimate coordinate, which was instead transferred to a ground 300 kilometers (480 kilometers) to the north in the town of Curitiba.

"This is incredible, I am walking on the lawn of the ground and I feel like I am sailing," Andrei Copetti, a group spokesperson, informed The Associated Press. "No one is aware of how a tale that was so amazing could suffer such a harmful change. For a lot of individuals here truth has still not hit."
