These were the somber images Tuesday after a deadly plane crash outside Medellin, Colombia.
The Avro RJ85 was en route Monday night from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, to Medellin when it crashed near Rionegro, Colombia, with 77 people on board, civil aviation officials said.
At least 71 people were killed, officials said. Six survived.
Players, coaches and invited guests from Brazil's Chapecoense soccer team were onboard the charter flight. So were more than 20 journalists on the way to cover what was supposed to be a heartwarming chapter in a Cinderella story for a team of unlikely champions.
The soccer club, which has risen the ranks in Brazilian soccer and has a devoted national fan base, was set to play in the first leg of the South American Cup finals Wednesday.
Now hundreds of heartbroken fans have gathered at Arena Conda in the team's hometown of Chapeco, Brazil.
