The plane which crashed in Colombia, wiping out a Brazilian football
team, was late taking off because crew had to search for one of the
players' lost video games, it was revealed today. Demerson Costa
(pictured, left), a defender and one of seven players who did not travel
with the team to Medellin, said
he saw a reference to the lost video
game in a Whatsapp group used by all the players. Because of the delay
the plane was unable to refuel at Cobija, an airport which does not
operate after midnight. It ran out of fuel as it waited for a landing
slot at Medellin and crashed into a mountainside (right).
