Colombia plane crash: leaked audio shows pilot said he ran out of fuel Read moreBut there was anger too, at the reports circulating that the plane had run out of fuel. It was a mistake, said Nataly Ferranti, 16, from the team’s female youth team, that “ended lives, ended Chapecoense”. A controller explained another plane had been diverted with mechanical problems and had priority, instructing the pilot to wait seven minutes. “It helped a lot,” said João Lima, a youth team player who ran in the lap of honour. Six survivors – including three Chapecoense players – are recovering in hospitals, with three of them in a critical but stable condition.
