Very sad for all that loss... and so sad for the club, the families, the supporters and for the chance of glory taken away so cruelly.

It seems to have been the result of massive electrical failure and running out of fuel but, so far, no reason for either has been discovered.

From what has been reported generally,it looks like the plane was at the full extent of its flying range without refuelling.

Astonishing to see that some people survived, possibly due to actions by the pilot. One survivor has put his survival down to following the safety procedures, along with a huge piece of luck.
