Flure Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 There's a report surfacing asking why the competition organisers were making/encouraging the teams to use that particular airline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South American football is corrupt as hell, it's a complete shambles run for short term gain. Not sure how that ties in with your story, were the airline an unofficial sponsor?

Ally Bongo Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Id imagine that the Health and Safety executives in South America are nowhere near as stringent as they are in say Europe or the USA which is my first thought rather than anything untoward or suspicious. Definitely a lot to come out of this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you know what i am getting at Whilst our Health and Safety standards with regards to airlines may not be flawless id imagine they are higher than say South America As an aside i might be talking utter cack but as i said it was my initial "thoughts" Edit - i was although it did used to be worse hence my incorrect conception http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/advice/air-safety-in-south-america-colombia/ Edited December 1, 2016 by Ally Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenfrewBlue Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Just seen the video of Chapocoense first game since the crash. There's a video of it on the BBC Sport pages. The children of the team from the crash were presented with the trophy and medals from the final they were on there way to. Make sure you have your hankies at the ready, emotionally charged doesn't quite cover it. Also, have to say well done to the team they were meant to be playing in the final as they asked for the trophy to go to Chapocoense. Class move which deserves recognition.
