Their opponents in the final, Atletico Nacional, have requested that the Copa Sudamericana title is awarded to Chapecoense, along with the prize money so they could be shared amongst the victims families.
Amazing gesture
Watching GloboTV here in Brazil- Still speculation and joining the dots at this moment in time but they it's believed that the plane had enough fuel for 3000km, about enough for the journey they were to embark upon. Unfortunately as they approached the airport there was a delay with a plane incoming or leaving (i'm not sure) and this forced them to circle until it was safe to head towards the airport for landing, they think this is the point the fuel ran out. Unbelievably negligent if true.
Spare a thought for the survivors for a moment too. The GK has had his leg amputated, the journalist has severe head injuries, Ruschel has spinal injuries but they worry it may prevent him from walking again.
The two air stewardesses seem to be okay.
What causes someone to survive rather than die in that situation? Fascinated to find out how.

Brazil announced a 7 day postponement of matches. But i am fascinated to know what will happen with this club. Hope they will field a team again at some point in the future if not next year then the year after. Will be an interesting story to follow after such a horrific tragedy.

Sitting at the back can make the difference. The G force of the impact is usually lower and can bring it into the survivability range.
There's one round of games left and the Cup Final was to be tonight.I thought the season had finished? If not, I would cancel their fixtures and start fresh next year.
