Brazil Soccer Team Faced with the Most Horrific Loss Yet

On November 29, 2016 the Brazil Soccer Team Chapecoense was faced with a horrific accident that changed lives forever. The Team was in the D division 4 years ago and was currently rising to the top. In the unfortunate crash, 71 people died and only 6 survived. Twenty of those who passed were journalists, who were following the team for more information.

Among the survivors was a Chapecoense defender named Alan Ruschel, who doctors said suffered multiple spinal injuries. Marcos Danilo and Jackson Follmann, two goalkeepers, as well as a member of the team’s delegation and a Bolivian flight attendant, also survived the crash. However Danilo died a short time later.Federico Gutierrez said, “What was supposed to be a celebration has turned into a tragedy.” Many professional players in the Brazil league don’t want to play after the loss of the team, “We want to give the division championship to Chapecoense”. Many of the teams in the league agree with the division. These lives lost will be remembered and always in the hearts of all soccer fans.
