Brazilian plane crash.

One paper is saying the club changed flights very late on.

I might be wrong, but it sounds like the entire flight was made up of people from the club, or at least connected to it.

 

[C-oops]

Lot's of journalists on board too.

It was a club flight, much like when our lot take a flight out to Europe for a game.
Will have had the squad, all management/medical team and probably journalists affiliated with the club on board
Apparently 3 of the survivors are a defender, goalkeeper and reserve goalkeeper.

Fuck

 

[Spurrific]

Horrible .

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Another of the survivors has died in hospital, one of the football team. RIP to all who have perished.

yes sounds like it was a chartered flight for the football club

 

[HildoSpur]

Really horrific news

 

[rossdapep]

Three players who were injured or suspended, so didn't travel...

Poor guys

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Poor guys

Yeah. And at the same time 'lucky'

Another of the survivors has died in hospital, one of the football team. RIP to all who have perished.

Yeah, Danilo has succumbed to his wounds too. He was the player sat beside the another survivor - Alan Ruschel

 

[rossdapep]

There was also some people from Fox Sport News on the flight too. Tim Vickery mentioned somebody that he has worked with in the past was on the flight.

 

[yankspurs]

Oh my god. No. No. No. Absoluteky awful. Horrofic tragedy.

 

[yankspurs]

Awful news, on their way to their first major final too.

Some nice tributes from top Premier League clubs on Twitter. We, meanwhile, are tweeting comments from Kevin Wimmer about Swansea. Our official social media leaves a hell of a lot to be desired.

They've finally commented, along with Vertonghen and Alli. Cant find anyone else though.

Two players - Alan Ruschel and Danilo - seem to have survived and they were sat next to each other.

Danilo has died

 

[Hoops]

Don't really see why a club should be held to a response tbh. There were probably some Accountants on board too, statistically you'd imagine there were anyway. Should KPMG official twitter be tweeting something in memory of any accountants who died?

Anyway. RIP all the poor victims

KPMG? We are probably Grant Thornton lol

 

[Hoops]

Is there anything sspicious or is it just an accident?

 

[rossdapep]

Is there anything sspicious or is it just an accident?

They think either electrical fault or it ran out of fuel, at this point.

 

[UpTownSpur]

Is there anything sspicious or is it just an accident?

Almost certainly an accident. Planes crashing into South American mountains/hillsides have featured in more than one episode of Air Crash Investigations. Probably some kind of issue with the plane, compounded by errors made by the pilots. That's the standard cause.

Sad news...

Could he a last minute thing, maybe a tired pilot.

RIP...
