Colombia crash pilot reported he was out of fuel: tapeMedellín, Colombia- Fans mourned Wednesday for a Brazilian football team decimated in a plane crash that killed 71 people in Colombia, as a recording emerged of the panicked pilot reporting he was out of fuel. "Ma'am, LAMIA 2933 has a total failure, total electrical failure, without fuel," pilot Miguel Quiroga tells the control tower in the recording, minutes before the jet crashed Monday night. In the tape, the pilot had earlier asked for priority to land due to "fuel problems." Announcing the crash on Monday night, the aviation authority said the plane had reported electrical problems. "The pilot was the one who made the decision," Gustavo Vargas of Bolivian charter company LAMIA told the newspaper.
