Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted November 29, 2016 A flight attendant who survived the accident is reported to have stated that the aircraft ran out of fuel. Reported that the pilot spent some time circling trying to dump fuel... Yeah, I saw that too. Someone should have told him that RJ85s aren't fitted with a fuel dump system. Journalists eh? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youwanticewiththat 611 Posted November 29, 2016 Thanks Cat - I couldn't bear to add the link back to the Daily Mailboge; I do have standards. So not a case of the pilot flying around for yonks trying to use up fuel then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,414 Posted November 29, 2016 We're all a bit detached on here, you have to be to have this is a hobby, but I must admit I shed a tear looking at this photograph of the Chapecoense players who didn't travel for the cup final. Does anyone know the names of these players? They have 32 players in the current squad . Wikipedia says 19 died (hardly reliable ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaMia_Airlines_Flight_2933 and 3 survived and 3 here in pic . The other 7 were they on the flight and haven't be identified yet or left behind and didn't travel ? Can't see a football team taking more than 22 players. Thankfully 13 of the 32 players are still alive hopefully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted November 29, 2016 It was a Final, a lot of non playing players would've gone. 21 journos dead I think, 1 survived. Why can't that happen here? (Wright, Green, Savage, Linacre, Young, Traynor, your boys took a helluva beating). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So not a case of the pilot flying around for yonks trying to use up fuel then? I think the tanks were already empty and RJ85s cannot dump fuel. I've just spent a while looking at the playback on Flightradar24: I think she was on the extreme limit of her range and she ran out of fuel because of the delay.
