Seventy-one people died on Monday when the British Aerospace CP-2933 plane operated by Bolivian airline LaMia crashed just before its planned destination near the Colombian city of Medellin. Only six people survived.

Victims included 19 Chapecoense players and most of the coaching staff. The team had been due to play Colombia's Atletico Nacional de Medellin in the first leg of the Copa Sudamerica final on Wednesday.
