The plane that crashed in Colombia’s
Medellin killing 71 people on board including members of the Brazillian
football team, Chapecoense, ran out of fuel moments before it crashed on
Tuesday November 29th. This is according to a leaked audio recording of the
pilot’s final communications with the control tower.
The pilot was heard repeatedly requesting
permission to land, saying that the plane had suffered “total electrical
failure, without fuel.”A co-pilot of an Avianca plane flying nearby at the time also said he overheard the LaMia 933 plane reporting it was out of fuel, calling “mayday” and asking the control tower to direct it to the runway.
Main cause of the crash is yet to be ascertained by Brazilian investigators. Only six of the 77 people on board survived the crash.
