This is very sad:

The fairy-tale rise of Brazil's Chapecoense -- from small football club to national heroes -- has been cut tragically short, leaving the country mourning the loss of one of its most endearing sports teams.

The plane carrying the Brazilian team to the biggest game in its history was en route Monday night from Bolivia to Colombia when it crashed in Rionegro, near Medellin, killing 71 people.
Six people survived the crash, according to authorities. Chapecoense defender Alan Luciano Ruschel was among the survivors....

Very sad. It's going to be very hard on them. It reminds me of the Marshall football team along with their coach were killed in plane crash. They had to rebuild everything.
 
sad... I saw a video on FB released by the team as one they wanted them to be remembered as. Can't find it on YouTube and I can't remember who posted it on FB that I saw on my newsfeed.
