Absolutely tragic. The fact that this was a fairy-tale made true for them (they got into a continental final just two years after promotion) makes it more gut-wrenching, with all those celebration videos, etc...

At least they didn't die from choking.

NOT FUNNY.

Soccer players never die from choking, its a natural talent. Like Sharks & killing.

I think you're confusing them with the woman's field hockey flight that went down.

Seriously though, it's a very sad story.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Alive! was about a men's rugby team.

My wife watches shows like "Why Planes Crash" (usually when I'm away on business).  A number of episodes focused on this area of Colombia; due to the mountains and high, variable winds several planes have gone down in this area.  So she was always worried sick every time I flew to Colombia (fortunately our project was on the other side of the country.)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

One of the biggest football crashes since the MU crash in the '50's. Not sure if Mongers remembers it but this one use to come often as an example.
