Brazil footballers remembered one year after plane crash
9 years agoPeople attend a ceremony in honour of the victims and survivors of Lamia flight 2933 on the first anniversary of the plane crash in Colombia that wiped out Brazilian football club Chapecoense, at the Arena Conda stadium, in Chapeco, Santa Catarina, Brazil on November 28, 2017. The plane was flying Chapecoense to Medellin to take on Atletico Nacional in the Copa Sudamericana finals -- the biggest and most unexpected game in the Brazilian team's history. When the plane ran out of fuel and went down in inhospitable mountains near its destination, 71 of the 77 aboard died, including 19 players. / AFP PHOTO / NELSON ALMEIDA
Two army helicopters scattered flower petals over a town square Tuesday as part of sad tributes to the upstart Brazilian football team Chapecoense, most of whose players died in a plane crash exactly a year ago.
