Yeah like you say, its irrelevant in the scheme of things but a nice gesture. Similarly I've seen it reported that Brazilian league clubs as a collective have asked for them to be exempt from relegation for 3 years and offered to loan them players without fees next season. Another nice gesture but will unfortunately mean very little to the friends and families of those that have died.Terrible tragedy for all concerned. Classy move by the other team to ask to award the trophy to the Brazilian team. Doesnt mean much in the grand scheme but a nice gesture all the same.
And after the alarms gone off you would fill it up where ?How the hell can a plane run out of fuel??
If fuel was low is there no warning lights/sound alerts??
You are right it won't help the relatives but it'll help the football club rebuild and carry on,lot's of jobs will depend on thatYeah like you say, its irrelevant in the scheme of things but a nice gesture.

I assume because they played Palmeiras on Sunday evening, so they would have stayed the night, and then onto the final, with a return to Chapeco.The flight actually originated in Sao Paulo and refuelled in Bolivia.
mate i ride a bike (honda blackbird) every day, some say a bike is the most dangerous form of transport, but i'm willing to bet you have more chance of survival on that than dropping 1000s of feet out of the sky..Hope you don't walk on a pavement, cross a road or get in a car. Higher chance of dying doing any of those thing.
Cheers for that, incredibly sad for all involved. You obviously know your planes mate, are many fitted with ram air turbines in case of engine/power failure? As a mechanical engineer in a completely different sector (no nothing about aeronautics) it's something i've always wondered.It's not possible to dump fuel on an RJ85 and if it was possible there wouldn't be time and the pilot would be trying to land the aircraft not dump fuel. From what I'm reading it seems that running out of fuel is most likely scenario. The reported electrical problems would occur when number 1 and 4 engines stop as they drive the generators. All speculation at this stage, but I very much doubt electrical problems would be the cause, it's more likely one of the effects.
We don't know that it did but there's lots of reasons including faulty gauges, pumps or other fuel related stuff, miscalculation (not unknown for crews to get their units of measure mixed up), unforeseen circumstances either internal or external.How the hell can a plane run out of fuel??
