Since this has been headline news all day, yet no thread has yet been posted on this the news section, I thought in the true tradition of answerbank it deserves the thoughts and sentiments of fellow ABers.

Utterly dreadful, all those young lives lost.

RIP.x

My thoughts exactly, Mamya. Tragic.

[anotheoldgit]

Yes reminiscent of our own Munich air disaster, all be it on a much smaller scale. RIP

[Lie-in King]

Thank you aog, I've been faffing about with essentially unimportant stuff & haven't seen the news at all today.

What a dreadful loss of life, so many families left devastated.

RIP.

An awful tragedy, brings back memories of 1958 and the Manchester United crash.

Tragic.

[Smowball]

Utterly tragic.

I was surprised to see that there were six survivors.

It reminds me that any of us can be killed instantly and with no warning.

With all the negative stuff about football at the moment (a lot of it,as usual, hyperbole the reaction to this especially in Brazil itself is very uplifting
