At least 76 people were killed when an airplane carrying a Brazilian football team crashed Monday night in Colombia. A Colombian police commander said five of the 81 people on the chartered plane survived. The aircraft was carrying 72 passengers and nine crew members. The team was on its way to play in the final of the Copa Sudamericana football competition at the time of the crash. The sport is called soccer in the United States. The plane came down in a mountainous area near the city of Medellin. The flight had started in Bolivia. The aircraft’s owner was identified as LaMia, a small Venezuelan airline company. Officials said the plane, a British Aerospace 146, was designed for short flights. The crew reported an electrical failure and declared an emergency at 2200 hours local time. Colombian officials are investigating what happened.
