Football fraternity mourns

By Fredrick Langat.


A plane carrying a Brazilian professional soccer team crashed in the mountains near Medellín, Colombia, late Monday, killing 76 people.

Five people survived the crash of the charter plane, according to authorities.

"The British Aerospace 146 aircraft was carrying Brazil's Chapocoense soccer team to a tournament in Medellín, Colombia's second-largest city," John Otis reports for NPR from the Colombian capital, Bogotá.

"The plane had departed from the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz but reported an electrical emergency shortly before crashing late Monday night," he says.
